Julia, Julie, or Juliet?

[Anonymous]

Juliette, spelled like that, I met the cutest little 4 year old this summer with this name.

but then again, my name is Michelle and the mean girls around here don't like my name.

I have a Julianna that we call Julie - though since age 3 she exclusively introduces herself as Julianna so we try to remember to introduce her that way too.

There's a Juliana in her preschool but not in her class. I also know a high school age Juliana. I've run across a few Juliets (not sure about spelling) that go by Julie as well.

So I'd go with Julianna, Julia, or Juliet, leaving the door open to using Julie as a nickname.

Now, Juliana I like.

Julie is a nickname, not a name. Go with Julia.

Julie is the French version of Julia.

Do you also think that Louise is a nickname, not a name, and the name is Louisa?

It's funny, I've never liked this name, but I love Julia, Julie, or Juliet.

Julia -- like it, is it becoming popular like PPs suggest?
Julie -- agree it sounds a bit dates (Julie McCoy your cruise director, anyone?)
Julianna -- like it, but may be becoming popular; I know a couple babies with that name
Juliet -- like it but as drunk, immature 20-somethings in a beach town, after a mother called after her daughter Juliet a million times, we started saying "Romeo, Romeo" so be ready for that around drunk, immature 20-somethings

Juliet with Jules as nickname

1. Julia - love it, but it's more common than I like
2. Juliet/Juliette - like it a lot, but it feels like it's trying a little too hard
3. Julie - Feels dated to me, but it's a pretty name

In the order in which I like them

Julianna -- beautiful, lots of nickname choices, Jules/Julie/Julia and also Annie/Anna

Julia -- also beautiful

Julie-- I don't like it quite as much but it's fine

Juliet, maybe the prettiest sound of all, but too closely associated with the suicidal heroine for me

Love them all. And Jillian.

Juliet.

I'm a Julie and I vote for Juliet. Julie is too mom-ish for this generation. Julia is too common.

I like Julia but can't shake a stick in my crowd without hitting one. I know 4 under the age of 8.

I like Julie.

I LOVE Julia and also Jewel for nick name.
