Thoughts on two girl names

jamiefour

DH and I think we have narrowed down our girls name due in October.  I am using the letters J and C to name after our uncles who have passed (Jewish tradition) If you have any other suggestions that would be great. 

Juliet Carly ETA:Carly is after DH's Uncle (I also like Claire)

Cecilia Jane

Also-Is Juliet getting popular?  I am seeing it a lot more on here.

I love Cecilia Jane.  Juliet is pretty but I am not a huge fan of Carly.

Juliet seems to be gaining in popularity, but I don't know one IRL.

Beautiful choices!  I have never met a Juliet (I do know 2 baby Julias).  I know one Cecilia who is 8 years old.  I don't think either is very common--you really can't go wrong!

I don't know if it is actually getting popular, in the sense that people are actually naming their daughters this, but I sure do here it ALL THE TIME on here...its starting to get old. But that has nothing to do with you. And its still a nice name and if you really like you shouldn't worry too much about popularity (in my eyes).

But with all that said I do prefer Juliet Carly over Cecilia Jane.

A few suggestions: Juliet Claire, Juliet Carys, Juliet Catherine, Juliet Camille

UH, I am not sold on Carly either.  I really want Juliet Claire but DH's uncle was Carl, therefore Carly is important to him.  I figured it isn't terrible as a middle name though.

Out of the two combos, I like Cecilia Jane. I do like Juliet but, I'm not of fan of Carly, I much prefer Caroline.

I'll vote for Cecilia Jane.

I really love both of these names. It took me awhile to even decide on a favorite since they are both so nice! Ultimately though, I think I give the slight edge to Cecilia Jane. So very pretty! You can't go wrong with either though.

I LOVE Cecilia Jane! Juliet is beautiful, but Carly is nms...I think Juliet Claire flows a little better.  

Other suggestions: Caroline June and Josephine Claire   

angelfire02

I love Juliet and Carly seperately, but I don't think they flow too well together.  I like Juliet Claire better.  I don't care for Cecilia at all. 

alohamora

Wow, we must have similar taste in names...I love both of them (with the exception of Carly - could you do Caroline instead?).

Juliet has definitely started trending upwards, but it's still in the 250s.

Exactly this!!

Thank you for all of the responses and suggestions.  Baby naming is overwhelming! 

queenbone

Love Cecilia Jane.

hellojenny531

I vote Juliet Claire.

magsugar13

i love both first names, but Cecilia is a little less popular, i do not like carly as a middle name.

ObLaDi

Love both your FN choices--it would be hard for me to choose.

I also like them together, ie Juliet Cecilia or Cecilia Juliet.

While I'm not inherently a fan of Carly, I do really like that it honors a family member more directly, so I would say to go for it! 

misscarter87

Juliet is getting very popular!

Totally this! 

Soap&Cider

The names you have picked out are very pretty! I have never met a Juliet IRL and have only seen it on this board. I think Cecilia Jane is my favorite of the two, but you really can't go wrong with either!

jburdet1

I prefer Cecilia Jane then Juliet Claire. I really dislike Carly alongside Juliet. Have you considered Carlene?

I looked in my baby book and these are girl names with 'Carl' in them:

 Carla (German) farmer (English) strong (Latin) a form of carol, caroline

Carleen/Carlene (English) form of caroline

Carlena (English) caroline

Carlin (Irish) little champion (Latin) short form of caroline

Carlita (Italian) form of Carlotta 

Carlotta (Italian) a form of charlotte

Carly (English) a familiar form of Caroline, Charlotte.

Carlyle (English) Carla's island 

Carlyn/Carlynn (Irish) form of Carlin

Oh! Well that changes things. I'm all for honoring family. If Carly has special meaning to you guys then I think you should use it.  

Do you like Carla?  I think it fits better than Carly... but if it's super important to your DH than I would let it slide.

Thanks for this.  I will discuss it with DH.  The reason for Carly is that was his uncles nickname.  I do like Juliet Carla better though.

MrsTBird

I know 1 Juliet IRL; I believe she's a few months younger than my DS. But she's the only one I know. I think Juliet Carla or Juliet Caroline flow much better than Juliet Carly. Cecelia is nice, but it's just NMS. I vote Juliet Carla/Caroline!

notkateanymore

Juliet Carly really doesn't flow at all.

I much prefer Cecilia Jane. 

srgw

My 1 year old niece is named Juliette. Other than that I don't know anyone with that name.

I like Juilet Carly.

sweetpealee

love juliet claire! i don't like carly as a middle name, but appreciate the meaning.  can you compromise on another "c" name that flows a bit better?
