Rosalie is my favourite by far.
Not really keen on the other names.

MirandaBlu · 17/08/2025 17:57

Juliet - like a lot, although the "Romeo and" association puts me off a tiny bit

Julia - like a lot; pretty classic, maybe a more "solid" and flexible feel than Juliet

Louisa - don't mind but for some reason the letters look unbalanced to me and Luisa seems more intuitive. My only other quibble is that it feels a bit like an intentional femininisation of a masculine name (rather than a name with equally trad masculine and feminine forms, like Julia/Julius or Claudia/Claudius)

Sienna - OK, but I always want to spell it Siena like the city, even though Sienna is a lot more common in the UK. Perhaps too popular right now, might date badly.

Rosalie - like, perhaps a little frilly but still feels solid and classic

I think that for any names you put on MN (or anywhere) you’ll find people who love them and people who hate them, and it isn’t a helpful way to narrow down names.

But since you’ve asked, I personally think they are all too bland for me to even say I dislike them.

Julia and Louisa feel a bit dated, Sienna will date I think. If I had to choose I’d go for either Juliet or Rosalie.

Why do people prefer the Juliette spelling

SpottyAardvark · 17/08/2025 21:48

I like Sienna, and I’m ambivalent about the other 4. They are fine, but not names that I have any particular reaction to other than thinking both Julia & Juliet feel a bit old fashioned.

OopsieeDaisy · 17/08/2025 22:39

Why do people prefer the Juliette spelling,@NotMoving2Dubai .
Why do people prefer Vivienne to Vivien, Isabelle and Annabelle to Isabel and Annabel.
Is it because they are frillier?

I'd say them slightly differently.
Juliet JOOL-y-et, Juliette Jool-y-ET etc.
(cf. Janet/Janette)

I prefer the simpler versions.

Emanwenym · 18/08/2025 10:19

Rosalie is one I don't really get. Rosa, Rose and Rosie seem nicer and don't make me think of a cup of tea or seaside fortune teller.

Hazelmaybe · 18/08/2025 19:45
