Oh FMIL...Juliet input

CallaLily25 · March 2013

I posted below for feedback on the names that my FBIL and his FI are considering. Tonight at our family dinner, they let it slip that their front-runner is currently Juliet.

I personally love this name, but FMIL proceeded to crinkle her nose and insist that a Juliet will be "relentlessly teased."

I think FBIL has learned his lesson, but the damage has been done. Now they're paranoid about the name Juliet. WDYT? Does FMIL have a point or no?

Love the name Juliet!

One of my faves.

The only teaseworthy thing I can think of is Romeo and Juliet, and that's extremely tame. It's a gorgeous name.

Love the name Juliet.

Personally I wouldn't be concerned about teasing with this name.

Teased for having a classic name on a roster of Brynlees and Neveahs?! Sign me up.

I love it. Okay Romeo and Juliet were fools for killing themselves. It's still a pretty name and among the top romance stories.

Exactly. Not

She will not get teased for Juliet. I teach music to 500 students a week. We have some really out there names and I've never heard kids making fun of names- sadly kids are way harsher than name teasing nowadays which is why I never really take

I love Juliet and hubby doesn't (too Romeo and Juliet for him) so we're leaning toward Julianne. But I never once thought about being teased for Juliet?! There's a website you can go to see feedback on ppl that have name ...

Juliet is a fine name. Now if their name choice was Romeo, THAT I would side-eye.

I don't know why anyone would tease for that, that'd be super silly. But really, people will tease for anything and everything.

I think Juliet is a beautiful name, I looove it.

ahare2009 · March 2013

I think the name Juliet is beautiful. This is the exact reason, if DH and I do have children, I want to keep the name a secret until birth.

salt78 · March 2013

I'm failing to understand why Juliet will be relentlessly teased.

capulet · March 2013

My name is Juliet, and yeah, until I got married I got the "Where's Romeo?" thing all the time, but so what? It's not really even teasing, it's just people thinking they're being clever by making the association with the play. I *did* get rele

alohamora · March 2013

It's one of my favorite girl names.

I don't personally like the name but there's nothing wrong with it. I don't understand what makes it so much more te

CallaLily25 · March 2013

Wow, thank you so much for all of the feedback! I can't wait to show this to FBIL. I really hope they choose Juliet...if not, it's going on my list Wink

BrideBuddies · March 2013

Your FMIL is an idiot. I'd be calling her out on that one... "What do you mean.. teased relentlessly??" When she comes up with some ridiculous answer, you know she's full of it.

Lolita0816 · March 2013

I love the name Juliet.

BLPL101 · March 2013

Juliet was on our short list. Both DH and I LOVE it! I don't agree with your FMIL.

ferris0906 · March 2013

Gorgeous name. And if kids are going to tease because of a Shakespearean reference, then I want to meet those kids.

FWIW, I would still consider this name for my own make believe future daughter, and my last name sounds/looks a lot l

lovebug33 · March 2013

Why? I had the sweetest Juliet in my class a few years ago! It's a nice name as long as their brother is not Romeo!

mamainseptember · March 2013

Absolutely adore Juliet, it was one of our front runners for this baby. However, we nixed it because of the Romeo and Juliet connotation. I had a friend in grammar school who was teased relentlessly with the "Romeo and Juliet" crap. It wasn't bad teasing,

RedCardinal · March 2013

That wouldn't deter me. Good choice OP.
