Julia

---

I do like Juliet a lot, but somehow Julia seems more mature and classic and Juliet has a touh of flakiness about it. I might use Juliet as a pet name though.

Juliet.

I think it's gorgeous. So elegant and musical. Never been a big Julia fan.

I would choose Juliet, I think it's beautiful.

---

Also the teasing potential isn't too bad. Romeo comments might come out the first time people hear the name, but I don't think it would turn into long-term teasing or anything. It's not like she has a name which rhymes with something awful or is associated with anything bad.

The sound of Julia has never appealed to me. I just don't like it. At all.

I'd use Juliet without hesitation - it's really the only Jul- name I do like - but only in the mn position, because I really don't enjoy Jules, Julie etc.

---

Teasing potential? No Juliet I ever knew got teased, or not for her name anyway.

Juliet. She may get the "Romeo" comments, but not enough to worry about.

:)

Juliet

and her nn would be Ettie or Etta!

I love both so much! I do feel safer using Julia as a first name. I prefer Juliet as a middle name, just in case of teasing potential. :)

I also love both. It would be hard for me to choose which to use in real life. Right now, I'd say Juliet. I wouldn't worry too much about teasing. Kids will find a reason to tease everyone, and Juliet is a beautiful name.

Easy! Hands down Juliet, but I prefer Juliette. Julia is so dated, and Juliette is beautiful

Usually I am all for the less popular option, but there is just something about Julia that trumps Juliet every time. It's probably that Julia is a lot softer and more classic, and I just can't deny a Beatles reference! Juliet is a great choice as well, I don't really think there would be too much teasing. A Romeo would probably get more flack, IMO.

I prefer the sound of Juliet over Julia.

Julia.

---

Juliet is just a bit too flowery for me.

Juliet

---

They're both pretty, but Juliet has a exotic romantic prettiness.

I wouldn't worry at all about Juliet's teasing potential -- indeed, I don't think it has any potential for teasing whatsoever.

---

I think I prefer the simple elegance of Julia, though Juliet's sparkly romanticism also appeals to me. I'll choose Juliet this time.

I would name my real life daughter Julia. But I really, really like the name Juliet.

Julia

---

Julia, no question. I've loved Julia for years.

Juliet

---

Juliet sounds and looks more appealing to me. I don't care much for Julia, though it's not a bad name.

I absolutely love Juliet, so I'd definitely go for that one. I'm not very keen on Julia, I have to say. It seems rather old fashioned to me.

Juliet

---

I like Julia, but I prefer Juliet. I like the finality of the 't' at the end. It has a bite that Julia lacks.

---

I like most of the "Jul" names though - July, Jules, Julie, Julia, Juliet, Julianne, etc

---

I think my favorite is July though :)

Neither, I prefer Juliana!

I prefer Juliet. I don't think a Juliet would be teased, if they were I can't imagine that the insults would be bad ones since what are you going to tease Juliet about? Being in love with Romeo?

---

If your daughter is being teased in school it probably won't be for having the name Juliet. Kids will think of worse things to tease her for.
