I love it. I'm planning to use it as a middle name for my first daughter.
My name is Julie, and while I like it fine, I'd always wished I'd had a longer name to go with it. I HATE the nn Jules, though.

I really like the name Juliet. I think it's very pretty and feminine, and the Shakespeare association doesn't bother me. I personally prefer the NN Julie (actually, I prefer Julie on its own over Juliet). Julia is nice, as well, but Julie is prettier imo.I like the name Emma, though it's not a fave of mine. I like all of your combos, though I much prefer the spellings Kathryn (or even Katherine...the C does nothing for me), Elisabeth, & Scarlett.Anna is nice, but I prefer Anneliese. Ava Elizabeth, despite its popularity is lovely and a fave of mine, but I prefer the sp. Elisabeth (I also love Elisabeth Ava) :-) Sara Elizabeth is a great combo, too...another fave of mine but with the MN sp. Elisabeth (I especially love the spelling of Sara without the h).David is a great name. Daniel is nice, but not a fave of mine. I prefer Alexander, James, & Edward as MNs, but they're all nice.

Juliet is one of my favorites. It's so delicate and pristine. The Shakespeare association doesn't really bother me.What I also like about this name is that everyone is familiar with Juliet yet no one seems to know anyone with this name. Julia and Julie are perfectly fine names; I just prefer Juliet and then Juliana.

Juliet is a very beautiful name, by far my favorite of the Julie names (Juliana comes in a distant second). However, I prefer the spelling Juliette.

The only nn my Juliet would have was Jules. I hate Julie, tho Julia is growing on me but I would never use it as a pet for Juliet. BTW, Juliet has always been a favorite and yes, I adore Shakespeare.I've always like Emma too but it's way too popular and overused now that it bummer. I really like Emma Kathryn, Emma Charlotte, and Emma Louise.Ava Elizabeth is an overused celebrity combo. Daughters of Heather Locklear and Reese Witherspoon to mention 2. I prefer Elizabeth as a first name. I love Sara without the h.
I love James!

It's my least favorite Jul- name. I prefer Juliana, then Julia, then Julie, and then, finally, Juliet. The Shakespeare connection is the only positive of the name for me.

I absolutely love Juliet! With no nicknames though. I think they associations with Shakesphere enriches the name even more. I'm not a fan of Emma but out of the combos you have listed I like Emma Scarlet the best. Ava Elizabeth is also nice and James and Alexander are classic. The rest are not my style.

I don't like Juliet - it is too Romeo and Juliet for me. I'd prefer it without a nickname though.

WDYT of Juliet: I adore it.
ETA: I might have a son named Romeo someday so Juliet is out of the question. Plus I think it's too close to my niece's name (Julia).I don't think Julia could work as a nn.Favorite Emma combos:Emma Charlotte - my Emma combo :)

My absolute favorite.I love Juliet to peices! It's such a gorgeous name that fits so many different types of people, imo. I don't mind the nns, but I think it's prettier on it's own.I don't really like any of the combos, because to me, they just need a bit more spark.
