Juliette! Husband’s Ex Same Name! Okay?

Hello Everyone!

I need some advice, I absolutely love the name [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] and I think it would work perfectly with my last name. The only problem is my husband back in the day dated a [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]. It was a super short relationship and what I know about it, it doesn’t seem like it was serious and was more infatuation then anything.

Would it still be weird to name our daughter the same name as his ex??

Most people wint know he dated a [name_f]Juliette[/name_f], so it wont be a big deal. As long as you and your husband are fine with it, and it doesnt make you jealous or make him uncomfortable, go for it. [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] is a lovely name ([name_f]Juliet[/name_f] is one of my top middles to use, as it sounds lovely and honours both of my parents)

I don’t think it’s weird, especially if it was a super short relationship. If it bothers you, you could go with [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] or [name_u]Julianne[/name_u] or [name_f]Julia[/name_f] or [name_f]Julianna[/name_f] or [name_f]Julietta[/name_f]. Really, though, I don’t think it would be a problem and Juliettee is gorgeous name!

Not many people will know and it is a beautiful name so it isnt unusable. I would just check how your husband feels about it as he would be the one who might find it strangest

I would say as long as it doesn’t bother your husband, it would be fine. If it bothers him, I personally would probably yield to his opinion on that.

No big deal, I say go for it.

Personally, I would find it weird and wouldn’t be able to do it. We’ve crossed names off our list due to negative personal association, because it’s a big deal for us.

However, as other people have said, most people won’t know about your partner’s past relationships and wouldn’t make that connection. I think it really is up to you and your partner depending on how you feel. If you love the name regardless, I say go for it.

I can see how many would say no to this but personally, I feel if it was a short relationship, I don’t see it being a huge problem! If you and your husband are both okay with it and don’t find it to add a negative connotation to the name then go for it! If it’s something that you can’t live with and will always remember, I’d say go for a variation of [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]! [name_f]Julia[/name_f], [name_f]Julietta[/name_f], [name_u]Julianne[/name_u] and [name_f]Julianna[/name_f] are all lovely names! If it’s the ette sound you love there’s [name_f]Colette[/name_f], [name_f]Evolette[/name_f], [name_f]Cosette[/name_f], [name_f]Josette[/name_f], [name_f]Lisette[/name_f], [name_f]Nicolette[/name_f], [name_f]Jeanette[/name_f] and [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] are just a few to pop into my mind at the moment! I’m sure you and your husband will decide the perfect name, [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] is lovely though and if you two love it that’s all that matters!

If it truly was a harmless infatuation I don’t think people will either remember or care. I agree both you and hubby will have to be in complete agreement tho…, if he has any reservation just move on.
