HelpRe: Juliet
in reply to a message by Billina
It's nice but it's so strongly associated with a tragic story and as this version was invented for the play I doubt anyone will ever be able to shed that association, it is just tied to the name. It is beautiful and I wouldn't mind seeing it on someone else but I wouldn't use it.
Juliette is a completely different name to me. I wouldn't pronounce it the same. Its emphasis is on the last syllable. It seems overly sweet and frilly to me. It doesn't see as tragic to me, but too sweet. I actually prefer Juliet.
Giulietta is nice but just too long and frilly.
I actually like Julie but it is so dated and kind of bland. Julia was extremely overused here. I do like it pronounced in English and with three syllables. I also kind of like Juliana. Julianne is a bit bland to me.
