HelpRe: Julie, Juliana, Juliet or Julia? (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
Juliet used to be my favorite. I still think it's a lovely name - however, I do wonder if the Romeo & Juliet association is too strong (particularly with this spelling). Others might ask, "Then why not spell it Juliette?" but I don't like the look of Juliette.
So now, Julia is my preferred variant - and happens to top my Top 10! It's a sophisticated name with lots of history, only 5 letters long (so it's difficult to spell or write for a child), and while I know at a Julia in every generation I really only know one or two in each (so it's not overused).
Juliana is nice, though I prefer Julianna. It seems rather medieval. I don't think I'd use it in real life, though, because it's more complicated / elaborate than Julia & Juliet.
Julie, for me, is very dated. Ultra 70s.
