Juliet for a girl?

[roseability]

I love this name for a girl but I am worried it is a bit unusual and people will think I am mad. Any opinions?

[fleacircus]

I think it's pretty. It's a bit unusual perhaps but I do know a (very lovely) baby Juliet.

[Ceolas]

I know a 3 year old Juliet. I think it's very pretty and wouldn't think you were mad

[wilkos]

its lovely go for it!

[roseability]

I am always conscious that it isn't just about what the parents like but any impact it would have on the child i.e. the playground test

[neolara]

It's lovely. It's my mum's name and my dd's second name.

[WynkenBlynkenandNod]

I had a lovely friend called Juliet when I was a child and recently was thinking what a lovely name it is.

[TheJester]

LOVE this name. I like classic strong but feminine names that don't end in 'a'. There aren't that many that fit the bill. I also like Vivien, Beatrix, Annabel and Phoebe.

I like it without the extra t and e. Juliet. Juliette looks awful. LIke a French side dish'.

[blametheparents]

DS's best friend os called Juliet, she is 7

[JulesJules]

Lovely name.

[WowOoo]

Nice name. Just hope there will be no Romeos in her class when older. Doubt it though.

I think of Juliet Bravo too. Tough police woman from 80's on TV.

[Nancy66]

Won't she get called Julie?

[TheJester]

Not unless she says "call me Julie"

My name has versions if you like. And nobody calls me the other version. Cos that's not my name (to quote the ting tings)

[Jojay]

Love Juliet. Go for it!

[ilovemydogandMrObama]

DD's middle name

[ByTheSea]

I like the name a lot!

[roseability]

encouraged by such positive response! I do like Julie as well but would prefer she was called Juliet.

[roseability]

I think this has made my mind up!

TheJester - your other names are lovely as well. I love Annabel but DH not so keen. he loves Juliet though

[NotSoRampantRabbit]

Oooh marvellous - love the name and am going to add it to my list - THANKS!

Other names (for the purposes of sharing):

Florence
Martha
Bethan
Matilda

[Jojay]

I know two sisters called Annabel and Juliet

They're in their 30's though

[screamingabdab]

Juliet, deffo. Not Julie.

[rubyslippers]

it is such a lovely name and much under-used IMO

[pandavark]

Juliet is very nice. I had a friend called Juliet when I was in school, she looked like a little bird

[systemsaddict]

LOVE it.

[changename1]

I know a Juliet aged 5 who is never a julie

[gibbberish]

Love, love LOVE Juliet! If I had a dd5 then this name would definitely be in the running.
