HelpRe: Julie, Juliana, Juliet or Julia? (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
Juliet's story had a sad ending, but she herself was a very positive person, warm and affectionate and highly intelligent - a born leader in fact; Romeo wasn't a patch on her.
And it's the only one of the Juli- names I'd ever consider. Julie is bland, Julia is pointlessly snobbish and Juliana is too Dutch-royalty. Giulia and Giuliana are too remote from what happens where I live for me to even have an opinion about them: I've got no clue at all how they are experienced in Italy.
But I'd only use Juliet as a mn, precisely to avoid Julie and (shudder!) Jules.
