I love
Juliet! When I was a kid I didn't like it so much (preferred
Julie or
Julia, but they weren't my favorites either) but it has definitely grown on me since then.
Yes, it makes me think of the play, but I love the play, so that's fine with me. She might get a few
Romeo comments, but I don't think it would be too much.
I like either spelling. Probably for an English speaking child I'd choose
Juliet though because
Juliette feels very French.
I know one
Juliet (age 17). I don't know if she every got teased. She has a younger brother
Jonah, which wasn't one of your questions, but I think
Juliet and
Jonah make a cute sibset. I also went to high school with a
Juliet (age 22 now) but I didn't actually know her...
Yes, I think I could easily become very popular.
