Too similar to last name? Opinions please!

SBear12 · August 2009

This is totally hypothetical, as we're not TTC again until next year...

... but I've always loved the names Juliet and Charlotte, and vetoed them originally because of our last name, which sounds kind of like "Garrett". But lately I've been thinking they might not sound so bad.

So now I'm curious... what do you think? Does one sound better than the other? Middle name would be something simple, like May.

I think Juliet Garrett is a little harsh, but I think Charlotte Garrett sound okay.

They both sound fine. I'd go with Juliet. I just love that name and it's a lot less common than Charlotte.

I think they both would work. Very classic name choices!

Sorry

I think Juliet is better b/c it is 3 syllables. Charlotte Garrett is too similar imo.

Okay, first I must get past the extreme cuteness in your siggy pic to think.

Ahhh... okay. I think Juliet sounds better because its three syllables. Charlotte Garrett sounds a little harsh. DDs name is three syllables and our last name is two, which sounds right to me.

I think Charlotte sounds better than Juliet. ?

I think I'd have to agree with you that they don't work very well with your LN. They are both beautiful names though. Would you consider Julia instead of Juliet?

Too close for me. I like the suggestion of Julia instead of Juliet. Would you consider Charlene instead of Charlotte? Both are pretty names though!

I like both, but Charlotte may sound better with your last name. My suggestion is keep saying them out loud to see which one grows on your more.

BTW- I LOVE your daughter's name Lyla Joy and may have to steal it when/if we have a little girl! Wink so cute!

I think they are too similar, I love the name Charlotte but won't use it because it sounds very similar my last name ::sigh::

FYI, Shakespeare picked the last name Capulet for Juliet.

Juliet Capulet, Juliet Garrett...similar

Shakespeare knows a thing or two about how words sound, I'd trust him! ;-)
