Juliet or Juliette?

Girl Names

I love the name but can’t decide which spelling I like more
I like the softness of [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] but I love long names much more than short which makes [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] nice too.
Help me decide!

I prefer [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] but also think [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] is lovely! I find names ending with ‘ette’ can sometimes seem a little dated (suzette, yvette, lynette, jeanette, annette, etc.). But to be fair, [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] wasn’t all that popular during the midcentury explosion of ‘ette’ names, so I think you’re probably good. [name_f]My[/name_f] friend tells me she disagrees and actually prefers [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]! :slight_smile:

I like [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] but prefer [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]. I love the sophisticated, [name_u]French[/name_u] vibe, and to me it seems less associated with [name_m]Romeo[/name_m] and [name_f]Juliet[/name_f].

I prefer [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]. I do sometimes feel that the extra -te are a little unneccesary, like it doesn’t add anything to the name or change it, y’know?

I think [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] is prettier but will probably be misspelled as [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] a lot, depends how much that bothers you.

I prefer [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]. I love the [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m] connection and I find the -te finish unnecessary.

I prefer the soft and sweet [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]. :rose: I don’t pronounce them the same way. [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] feels heavier.

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

Another vote for [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]. It’s sleeker & less fussy. And because of [name_m]Romeo[/name_m] & [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], I’d think it’s the more known spelling.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. :slight_smile:

I agree. I love how sleek and sophisticated [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] looks, and how it’s relatively long and elaborate in sound but tidy and tailored in looks. It’s got a lovely poise and restraint to it, and the literary links are a positive for me.

I think it depends on what it is paired with! [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] is simpler and more classic, would pair with fn or mn or sibling names of similar style. [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] is more feminized, [name_u]French[/name_u], exotic. It would pair with other names that are similar. I also like [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] paired with shorter, simpler names for example [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] to me is more interesting than [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f].

I prefer [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]. [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] reminds me of [name_u]Gillette[/name_u].

Both are lovely. I think [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] looks very pretty, but perhaps too frilly since the name is already very feminine and romantic. [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] would also likely cause fewer spelling issues with the general public.
So, while I think [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] looks prettier, i prefer [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]. The latter is on my list of middle names (though I’d love to use it as a first, with the nickname [name_f]Lettie[/name_f]).
