Re: WDYTO Juliet?
in reply to a message by Ludwig
Forgive me, how will I ever live without you excepting my spelling typo... I'm only human. And yes, I think I can like a name when other people associate it so something I do not care for. It is important to consider that Juliet may have some other meaningful link to my life in another way than Shakespeare.

Accepting your error, you mean?
Names aren't just about you and links to your life, though. They're public currency. Juliet isn't just what you'd identify with your daughter, it's what everyone else would identify her with, too. You can't just ignore the fact that the vast majority of people will identify your daughter's name with one of the mainstays of literary culture.
