I like both Elisabeth and Elizabeth, but I think in this case, Elisabeth Juliette would be my pick since I prefer Juliette to Juliet. It just looks more balanced to me. Elizabeth Juliette would be okay, but I like the look of Elisabeth and Juliette paired together since they're the French spellings.

ElisabethElisabeth from the view more beautiful than Elizabeth.Elisabeth has a lot of diminutives, and is already so long to do I would not give a second name.Nicknames: Elis, Eli, Ela, Elsa, Elisa, Eliška, Lisa, Betty,...More I like Elisabet.

Elizabeth - I don't know why that is just how I automatically spell it. And Juliet for the same reasons plus Juliette seem too overdone. I love Elizabeth Juliet.

I like both spellings. I might lean towards Elizabeth because it's the more usual spelling so most people would probably spell it this way automatically.I love Juliet. Elizabeth Juliet would be great!

ElizabethElisabeth I prefer in few contexts. It looks too soft and makes me want to say eh-LIS-a-beth or eh-LEES-a-beth. It just looks a bit off to me.I love Elizabeth. Can't get much more timeless than that. Elizabeth Juliet would be really pretty.

Prefer the z to the s... feels more natural phonetically... and people are less likely to mis-spell it that way... Not a fan of Juliet or Juliette anywhere in a name...

Elisabeth. I don't really know why, I guess it just looks a bit more softer if that makes sense.

ElisabethI really like both spellings, but I feel Elisabeth lends itself more naturally to the nn Elsie, whcih is my favourite. But either is great really.I prefer Juliette to Juliet, but with Elisabeth and Elizabeth I much prefer Juliet. So Elisabeth Juliet GMV.

Elisabeth looks prettier to me and since it's also the French spelling and Juliette is also the French spelling, I like the looks of Elisabeth Juliette (btw,there's nothing wrong with Elizabeth Juliet). I just don't like them mixed for some reason (i.e., Elisabeth Juliet / Elizabeth Juliette).

I prefer Elisabeth. I like the softer S sound than the Z. I don't like the sound of Juliette nor Juliet with Elizabeth or Elisabeth though.
It's sing-songy.
If I had to choose, I'd go with Elisabeth Juliette as long as your pronounce Juliette as "joo-lee-ETTE" and not "JOOL-ee-et"

Elisabeth Juliette :) I agree that Elisabeth just looks softer and younger than Elizabeth. As for Juliet and Juliette, I think it really depends on how you're pronouncing them. I pronounce them differently. Juliet: JOO-lee-et. Juliette: zhoo-lee-ET.

I love both. It depends on what mood / effect I want to project. Elizabeth is regal and strong. Elisabeth is romantic and soft. If I had to pick one over the other I'd say Elizabeth.As for a combination: Elizabeth Juliet (both English) or Elisabeth Juliette (both French).Elizabeth Juliet makes me imagine Queen Elizabeth at the first performance of "Romeo & Juliet." Besides, Juliet looks cleaner to my eye than Juliette.

Elisabeth JulietI love it as a combo! I think they're both classy, pretty, and feminine and work perfectly together. I prefer the spelling Elisabeth because it is less common than Elizabeth and just seems softer (ignoring the fact that it's my name completely, of course). I also prefer the spelling Juliet because it's simpler but without detracting away from the quality of the name.

Elisabeth, I just truly prefer this spelling for two reasons. 1. It's not a common spelling and 2. I can't write cursive Z's.Elisabeth Juliet is lovely.
