Sorry... another baby name poll (Juliet v Julia)

[schrodinger]

Despite having niece named Julia, I prefer Juliet. In full disclosure, I'm also a sucker for older names. Julia is much more popular these days (52 vs 257 on the SS list).

Do you have a middle name picked out? Because that could sway me in favor of Julia.

What letter does your last name end in?

If your last name ends strongly, like "son", etc., I would choose Julia.

If your last name is short, or ends with a vowel, I would be inclined to suggest Juliet.

I like both. My MIL is Julia but goes by Julie. I have thought of naming a baby Juliana after her.

I also think the beginning of you last name is important. If your last name begins with L I might lean towards Juliet. It is hard to say without knowing the name.

Those were two of my top names. I like Julia better.

I like them both but I'd pick Juliet.

[CloudBee]

I vote Julia, then.

An "a" ending, followed by an N flows nicely.

I like Julia the best, but really like both.

[Noralie]

I prefer Julia. A friend's daughter is Julietta, which is really pretty. I'm also partial to Julianna.

[jujubeesmom]

My daughters name is Julia, so that is my pick!

Pretend that you are really mad and yell the choices out with your last name and middle name if you have it. See which one rolls off the tongue easier.

I like julia but I am biased of course

my only complaint, having that name, is that people are always wanting to call me Julie, which is not my name.

[6fsn]

I just yelled it too;) Juliet wins for me.

[MadamePresident]

I like Juliet. Julia not so much. But I used to have a boss named Julia.

I prefer Julia in general, but I think Juliet works better with Patricia in the middle.

I'm a teacher and the name Juliet was ruined for me this year!!! I like both names, actually but I'm still too traumatized to actually vote for Juliet on your poll, lol. Would you consider spelling it Juliette? I think that's much prettier.

I like both but prefer Julia.

I like them both, but prefer Juliet. Unfortunately DH's first GF was named Juliet, so we can't use it!
