Help[Opinions] Re: Julie
in reply to a message by Lily
I knew a few Julies growing up (born 60s-70s), have known many older ones, and have seen one among my kids' preschool peers. I think because it's a nick for Julia, it's not really that dated. There's also a Julia among the children of my friends, whose mom does not like her called Julie.
I don't care for Juliet much. It's too associated with Shakespeare. It's okay, but nms. Juliette is about the same - I'm neutral on it. I prefer Juliet slightly because the stress is on the first syllable (I say JUliet / juliETTE).
Juliet 'Julie' or Julia 'Julie' are both better than just Julie, IMO. I'd rather be Julia because it's more classic, less fashion-minded-seeming.
