Juliet

Juliet is fewer complex name than Juliette.

I prefer Juliet to Juliette, probably due to the shakespeare association.

Juliet.

Juliette is too much, in my opinion. Also, that spelling reminds me of Gillette razors and such.

I prefer Juliet. I just think it's so much nicer.

Juliette looks too fluffy and too overdone. I much prefer Juliet. Having said that, if the surname or even fn of my child was quintessentially French, I'd use Juliette.

I prefer Juliet, but it's not a strong preference. I sometimes use Juliette in combos if it strikes me as a better fit.

In general, I think Juliet is nicely pared down and cleaned up compared to the frillier, more cluttered Juliette. Either way, I figure the Shakespearean character is an unavoidable reference, so I might as well opt for the Shakespearean spelling.

I would prefer Juliet. Juliette is nice enough, but it seems a little frilly. I don't think the extra letters are necessary for pronunciation, nor do I think they make the name look nicer, so they just seem extraneous tome. Juliet looks more elegant, imo, and ages better, I think.

Juliet, Juliette feels too frilly, unless you're French.

I like both, but I prefer Juliet. With Juliette I want to pronounce it the French way.

There's no point in using a French name/spelling unless you, the parent, stick to the French pronunciation with 100% determination. If there's a good reason for doing that - you're French or permanently resident in a Francophone place - then fine. And if you can't or don't say it the French way, you and by extension the child will look pretentious and silly.

Juliet. I think it's a gorgeous name and the extra -te on Juliette is unnecessary. It looks sleeker and classier as Juliet.

Juliet, definitely.

Not only is there the Shakespeare association (which, for me, is positive), but to me the "ette" ending is too frilly, almost like a nickname rather than a real name.

I have a strong preference for Juliette because Juliet is an unnecessary Anglicism, imo. To me, it's like using Julien on a girl, instead of Julienne, the traditional French feminine form, or maybe, Antoinet, instead of Antoinette. It looks so odd to me.

Just Juliet, I think. No strong reason,it just seems complete, and enough.
