I prefer [name]Juliet[/name] but both are pretty.

[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Wren[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Maya[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Helen[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Diane[/name]

I much prefer [name]Juliet[/name]. I think [name]Juliette[/name] looks a bit pretentious and unnecessarily frilly, unless you’re French. Why bother with the extra -te when [name]Juliet[/name] is already so feminine? It feels like overkill to me. I also like it best with the first syllable emphasized, rather than the last.

I do like [name]Juliette[/name], and normally I wouldn’t be a fan of ‘unnecessary’ letters in a name, but in the case of this particular name I feel it gives the name a little extra oomph. It makes me think of [name]Juliette[/name] kind of as a younger version of [name]Juliet[/name].

I like both, but I prefer [name]Juliette[/name]. This may be the French in me. I just think it looks more complete and pretty.

[name]Love[/name] it, it’s on my personal list. :slight_smile: I prefer [name]Juliette[/name] than [name]Juliet[/name]. It’s a romantic name, feminine, princessy, frilly, but not super frilly (in my opinion).

@geeknamezyo: [name]Juliette[/name] and [name]Juliet[/name] sounds different, so you may want to consider it too and not seeing it only as extra -te. [name]Juliette[/name] has stronger sound for the last syllable.

The only think I don’t like about [name]Juliet[/name]/[name]Juliette[/name] is that the namesake is so well known as well as being rather tragic/stupid.

It is a very pretty name. I personally wouldn’t use the -ette version unless I was living in [name]France[/name] or a very French area.

When I read the name “[name]Juliet[/name]” I immediately think of [name]Romeo[/name] and [name]Juliet[/name], whereas when I see “[name]Juliette[/name]” I don’t, so I prefer the latter.

I prefer the more no-nonsense Anglicized spelling, [name]Juliet[/name] - it feels a little less storybook to me, and I don’t like that emphasis on the last syllable that -ette usually triggers.

13
