What do you think of Juliet? Are there any other forms of Julie that you think sound better?

I rather just prefer Julia, but I'm a sucker for tradition. Every other generation in my family, the name Julie is used but changed. My mother is Julia, after her grandfather Julius, so I don't want to just reuse Julia. I like Julian, but I already have a name picked out that I love for if I'm having a boy.

Any thoughts?

I really like Julia, Juliet and Julian, but I dislike all others.
I think in your case Juliet could work great, as for not re-using Julia or Julie.

Other suggestions for a female that I don't endorse are:
Julienne
Julianne
Juliana
Juliana
Yulia
Yuliana

I LOVE the name Juliet and Julianne. If I wasn't named Julie myself, I'd call my daughter that! :)

I love Juliet.
It works beautifully as a middle name with almost everything.

Julie on its own is actually my preference. It's one of my top two girl names. I like Juliet almost as much, and Julia is good too.

I love Juliet. It's my favorite of the names. Julian for a boy is great.

I don't like Julie that much, but Julia is okay.

I went to college with a Jula. That's right, no 'I' in the name. It was pronounced just like it looks: Joo-lah. Perhaps that could be an option?

Also:
Julianne/Juliana
Juliet/Juliette

If my son were a daughter he'd be a Juliana. But I also really love Julia.

Juliet goes back and forth from being my first or second favorite girl's name. I just think its so beautiful, and works equally well for girly girls or tomboys.

Juliana is on my list. Julia is also beautiful. =)

I love the name, but I like the spelling Juliette. Juliet just makes me think of Julie with a T tacked on the end.

I like Juliet and Juliana quite a lot, but not really Julie or Julia.

I used to work with a girl who's full name was Jules, which I quite liked, although I prefer it as a nickname for Juliet [which I love, by the way]

I like Juliet alright, but I think that Juliette is prettier. I think it's probably the only form of Julie that I like though. July?

I really love the name Juliet I think that it is very sweet. you mentioned liking the name Julian but you already have a boys name, I knew a girl named Julian (after her grandfather who died the day before she was born) and we all called her Jules, so if you really like the name you can always find ways to use it.
