I think Scarlett Joanne has a nicer ring to it than Juliet Joanne. I love both of those names so here are a few others I like - in case any give you ideas.

I know what you mean about the 2 Js but it's not terrible. Scarlett Joanne is a bit nicer. I don't think it should be a deal breaker, though. If you love it, use it:)
I would use Juliet if you love it. It's not the best flow but for first and middle names it's not that big of a deal. Unless you plan to use the middle name a lot.
I like alliteration, so it doesn't bother me, but I do think in terms of flow, Joanne is a tough one in the MN spot. My grandmother's name was Giovanna (so, Joanne in Italian) so we considered both names for a while as middles and had a hard time. We eventually went with something else.
Just as a suggestion, could you use Jo or Joan instead? Juliet Joan?

I dislike alliteration, but Juliet Joanne doesn't sound horrible. I do prefer the flow of Scarlett Joanne, though it does make me think of Scarlett Johansson (not necessarily a bad thing).
Thank you all for your suggestions! @Helenahhandbasket it's true, nothing really 'goes' with Joanne. Unfortunately for some reason DH's family is very opinionated on the fact that if you are going to name someone after a family member, you should use their proper name.
I'm leaning towards just going with Juliet, since that's what we really like anyways. I think the more I get used to Juliet Joanne together, the more I like it.
I really liked the suggestion of Felicity and Violet also - I will definitely pass those on to DH, thanks @Jennifer2008!
