Now that I could have my baby any day....

We've come to a decision on a girl's name:
Juliet Adelaide Slatosky
So, with our time getting short- give me all you've got on our name! :-) Obviously not on the last name, not much we can do about that ;-)

Aww, I think it's really cute! I love Juliet, and Adelaide is nice enough, too :)

Congratulations! :D

I love it!

[elemmennope.livejournal.com]

Nice choice.

[adamantplatypus.livejournal.com]

How do you pronounce Adelaide? Ada-lay or ada-laid?

[adamantplatypus.livejournal.com]

Ata-lie?


Oh, so confused.

[mrs-slats.livejournal.com]

\ˈa-də-ˌlād\

ah-dell-aid

[mrs-slats.livejournal.com]

ah like animal

[krosp.livejournal.com]

so more like ADD-uh-laid ?

[mrs-slats.livejournal.com]

I'd say the Uh is somewhere between Uh and Eh

[krosp.livejournal.com]

Have you never come across the name Adelaide before??

(shame I can't convey tone of voice by text- this isn't meant to be a snipey or patronising question! I'm just really curious and kind of surprised because to me, it's like asking "How do you pronounce Rebecca?" or something, and I'm just curious as to whether you've actually never heard the name, or whether you've heard it pronounced many ways or what)

oh it's beautiful! It sounds great together!! even the last name. ;)

I love Juliet. I don't like Adelaide but that's just because I used to really dislike someone I know with the name. And I think it's really cool how the initials spell JAS, so that could be a nickname for her.

[pickle-breath.livejournal.com]

it's not my style at all,but I still like it! It's different but still so sweet sounding. I really like how it flows when you say it- even with the funky last name :) though I want to give her the nickname Lemonaide :) I'm just mean that way.

[schexyschteve.livejournal.com]

I love it! It's gorgeous and sounds so feminine!

[lovelylittle.livejournal.com]

Can I just tell you that I love your icon?! I just watched that movie for the first time in years the other day!

[schexyschteve.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

Love it!
Both names are gorgeous separately and go together well also.

[satunian.livejournal.com]

IAWTC!

[so-there.livejournal.com]

I like the names separately but I don't think they flow well :/

My son's name is Joseph Ross Slatosky. That one didn't flow too well either (Ross/Slatosky.... lots of hissing) but I'd decided long before I got married that that would be my son's name.
With Juliet Adelaide it's sort of a compromise in the families because my family hates Adelaide and his family loves it. So it's the middle name. If we'd been willing to deal with the stress of choosing a name my family hates, it would have been Adelaide Rose.
So, I agree they don't flow well, but I think they flow better than our son's name ;-)

I agree. I love Adelaide though, and will probably use it as a first name some day. As long as you don't live in Australia, I think it is a fine choice. :)

[ber-waves-of.livejournal.com]

I love it! My number one choice for a name if I ever have a girl is Juliet. My only complaint about your name choice is that all three names (first, middle, last) have three syllables. Generally with a longer first and last name I'd pick a one syllable middle - at most two syllables. But I'm very nit-picky about that. Really, it sounds nice. And FWIW, my son's first, middle, and last all have two syllables. I loved the name too much to change it because of the syllable issue. :)

[mrs-slats.livejournal.com]

My son's name is Joseph Ross Slatosky. We chose Juliet Adelaide as sort of a compromise between our two families differing opinions of the name Adelaide. Hehe... I don't think Juliet Slatosky sound's too bad though- and that's mostly what she'll be known as.

[sageharper.livejournal.com]

Ooh wonderful, really elegant and feminine, a little diffrent too but in the best way.

[celebrate.livejournal.com]

I like it!

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

I love it:)

[lovebird.livejournal.com]

I like it. And I love Joseph and Juliet as a sibset.

[florallove.livejournal.com]

I like it. I've started to like Adelaide since I joined this community. I think it's very cute but not young.

[hotmaildt.livejournal.com]

love it!

congrats and good luck!

[blue-suspenders.livejournal.com]

I like it a lot.

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

I like it.

Congrats!

[lilacmermaid.livejournal.com]

I really really like it. I like both of those names a lot, and I think they flow and sound really good together.

[krosp.livejournal.com]

I like it, and believe it or not I actually went to school with a Juliet who had a last name very similar to yours and so it makes me think of her... and obviously to me, I can see that it works in real life :)

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

I like it. It sounds great!

[laminy.livejournal.com]

It's a nice name. I like Adelaide just loads better than Juliet though. I personally think that that would be the prettier first name.

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Love it!
Beautiful choice!

[onzeminutos.livejournal.com]

I'm not that fond of Juliet on it's own but I think that it fits really well with the rest of the name. It's really beautiful :>) And flows very well, too, I think!
