Help[Opinions] Re: Juliet - with query
in reply to a message by Billina
I like if not love this name.
While generally not a fan of the "ette" suffix due to meaning, I simultaneously like all forms of Julian, Julianne, (etc) - even Juliet (whichever spelling) whether a formal version or shorter casual reference through regular apocopation.
I have no reason to perform an "etymological scrub" on every name version I hear or see, nor do I necessarily know whether every name (version) I witness in daily life is one's formal name or not.
Fictitious scenario - Have fun with your responses.
My name is Julian. I am a one year old boy. I am sometimes called Julian, and I am sometimes called other, shorter versions. My mother sends me to bed (crib? - I am uncertain of age proprieties) for my afternoon nap. She is at my bed-side calming me--with the intention that I sleep.
Is my mother wrong or in any way inappropriate to call me Julie as an affectionate name?
