Re: How do you pronounce Juliet? (more)
in reply to a message by Lily
When I say it, there is almost an equal emphasis on the first and last syllable. If I had to pick, I'd say it's slightly closer to "joo-lee-ET," but it's a very close call. And I pronounce Juliet and Juliette the same. I'm from the US.
I greatly prefer Juliet to Juliette- I feel the -te is unnecessary. I think Juliet is beautiful, I love it. I don't see it as a tragic name because I can separate it from the Romeo and Juliet association. I don't find it common at all.
