[Opinions] Re: Juliet
I prefer the spelling Juliet, just because I'm so used to seeing it that way from Romeo and Juliet. But I tend to dislike names that come from Shakespearean tragedies, just because they have too much baggage. Like how the name Ophelia seems to be getting more popular, but everything time I see it I think to myself, "You want to name your kid after a famous character who died drowning? And was taken advantage of and manipulated through the whole story??? That sounds awful."

Agreed about the Shakespearean tragedies...although I still have a sneaking fondness for Desdemona.
