Juliet

Last post.... I hope!
Juliet. What do you think? Is it likely to be shortened? Is there teasing potential with Romeo and Juliet or should we be okay?
It's the name I loved for a girl as a teenager but got loads of along the years.

I think it’s beautiful and timeless.

Love it - beautiful and underused I think

A beautiful name - bravo!

My Dd has it as a middle name as I was too scared to go with it but I really wish I had as it suits her (and she loves it too)

Beautiful name, really pretty.

Beautiful name. I've only ever known one and she went by Julie and Joules.

Very pretty classic name.

Love

It's a beautiful name. I know a very lovely, rather glamorous and very successful Juliet ❤️

Beautiful name - I love it!

It’s a lovely very underused name.
My only concern ( & why I didn’t use it myself ) is that it will get shortened to Julie which I’m really not keen on.

Very beautiful and unlikely to be shortened in my opinion.

I love it.

It’s very pretty without being frilly. A very underused name I think.

Love it. Could get shortened to 'jules'.

It's beautiful and under used. Try to steer towards Jules for short though rather than Julie which I think devalues the name.

I think ‘Ettie’ is a sweet shortening

I think it is lovely

@Nicebloomers Awh I love Ettie! That would definitely be my choice over Jules and Julie. Thank you 🙏🏼

Beautiful! Classic name that will never sound dated

I love it, went for Juliette as middle name as worried about shortenings.

Beautiful ,elegant and so underused (wish I could use it!). And Juliet is definitely the nicer spelling imo (unless you are French). Romeo and Juliet not an issue - just makes the name even more classic sounding. NN Jules, Etty, Lettie, or Jet - but it’s so lovely in its own right it almost seems a shame to use a nn.

I disagree with pp that it would get shortened to Julie though - I’m a Julia and none of the other Julia’s or Juliet’s I’ve met have ever got called Julie intentionally (only by older people who mishear the name as Julie was so popular 60 years ago - I know loads of (older) Julie’s but only a few Julia’s and Juliet’s).

Yes I love Ettie too! It’s nice that there’s the option of Jules too though, if she likes 😊

I have a Juliet with shortening of Ettie - so obviously I think it's a great choice !!
