Eloise and Juliet
Met a 9-month-old baby a few days ago named Eloise. WDYT?Also, Juliet is a name I'd never quite warmed to, despite liking other Juli- names, but I've been watching a show recently with a character named Juliet and I find myself finally liking it. Some combos I was throwing around (I really like it with virtue/word names, for some reason):Juliet Carys
Juliet Concordia
Juliet Constance
Juliet Frances
Juliet Ivy
Juliet Lark
Juliet Love
Juliet Mailys
Juliet Maxine
Juliet Mirth
Juliet Monday
Juliet North
Juliet Patience
Juliet Pauline
Juliet SylvieWDYT (of Juliet and of any of the combos)? Any other combo ideas?

you taught me the courage of stars before you left
how light carries on endlessly, even after death
with shortness of breath, you explained the infinite
how rare and beautiful it is to even exist

I like Eloise; I group it with Elise and Heloise in my brain. Names I used to be absolutely devoted to, but now just vaguely appreciate, which is kind of sad. Juliet is probably my favourite Juli- name, though I'm warming to Julia.

I thought at first this was going to be a post about Juliet and Eloise as siblings. My first thought was that Juliet and Elise would be better. But that's neither here nor there.I don't dislike Eloise, but I flip flop on how much I like it.My favorite of your combos is, hands down, Juliet Concordia. It's so grand!My standard response to Juliet combo requests is Juliet Margot. I saw it in an alumni magazine birth announcement once and thought it was just gorgeous.
Edited to fix typo.

I like both names; would I ever use them in real life, like for a child? Probably not. But I think it would interesting to meet a baby or young girl named Eloise, it does remind me of the Eloise at the Plaza books and movie. I also like Juliet but it's so strongly associated with Shakespeare, that it's almost impossible to use.

Oh, I really like Juliet Eugenia and Juliet Mercy!

Juliet is great. Big fan of Juliet Monday and Juliet Patience. Just a little funny because Shakespeare's Juliet was notoriously impatient. ;)

The first thing I thought was that Eloise and Juliet would make a wonderful sibset and work really well for twins. I do prefer the French spelling of Juliette. Both of these names are beautiful and elegant. Combos for JulietJuliet Rose
Juliet Lily
Juliet Mary
Juliet Noelle
Juliet Ruby
Juliet Diane

Yeah, when I typed them next to each other I thought they'd make a nice sibset. :)I really like Juliet Mary and Juliet Ruby. Thanks!

I like them both very much. I wouldn't use them as fns though - it would be a really rare Juliet who didn't turn out to be Julie or Jules, and the only Eloise I've ever known (delightful kid) was known in her family as Wheezy.I greatly enjoy Tessa Juliet. Given enough daughters, I'd have named one of them Vickie after a good friend, and Eloise Vickie flows better than Vickie Eloise, but she'd still have been known as Vickie.

See, I quite like Jules as a nickname, so for me that's a plus. :) Wheezy though... ouch. Tessa Juliet is lovely. :)

I actually really love Eloise. There was a Princess Eloise in a rather obscure fantasy movie I watched far too many times as a child, and I loved her and her story. She actually spent a good chunk of the movie calling herself Darlene, which is a nice enough name, but Eloise is just so much more elegant. (She was engaged to a Prince Arthur, but his name is far less exciting.) Eloise feels very fairy tale to me, probably due in large part to that association. It's also easy to shorten (Ella, Elly / Ellie, Elle, etc).I have not once met an Eloise, but apparently it's recently gaining popularity in both the US and UK (and even Australia, though not in Canada where I live). I have never met an Eloise, which sort of makes the name feel like it "belongs" in that fairy tale setting rather than irl.Eloise Anne
Eloise Faith
Eloise Maria Joy
Eloise Constance
Daisy Eloise June
Grace Eloise
Catriona Jane Eloise
Ruby Eloise HopeJuliet is nice too. I also watch a show with a Juliet! It's pretty and feminine without the pervasive 'a' or 'y' sounds at the end like so many lovely feminine names! I like it for combos because it doesn't end up rhyming with everything. ;)

Yeah, when brainstorming combos I often end up thinking of something really long that sounds cool in my head so I just type it out, because why not? Glad you liked those. :)

Eloise is adorable, and I love that it is being used. It has such a soft and dainty feel, but still a classical vibe that is charming. As for Juliet, I have always liked that name. We considered it briefly, but DH is named Julius and he has a cousin Juliet. Still, its a strong yet whimsical name that will always have the romantic feel. Of yoru combos, Juliet Mirth really stood out. I love vintage virtue names, and I have only seen that on boys before. It's quite catching on a girl. Unexpected and quirky combo, Juliet Mirth. Mailys is one of my favorite names (though I prefer the more modern Maylis spelling for some uncharacteristic reason!). Juliet I have never though to pair with it, and I find that it works!Ivy, Sylvie and Frances seems to mesh well with it from your list as well. For some alternate suggestions, following your word vibe:
Juliet Meadow
Juliet Vale
Juliet Esprit
Juliet Blythe
Juliet Swift
Juliet Rebel
Juliet Noble
Juliet Serene
Juliet WhisperOthers:
Juliet Liora
Juliet Holly
Juliet Clarion
Juliet Renee
Juliet Terese
Juliet Wren
Juliet Narelle
Juliet Elaine
Juliet Zenaide
Juliet Opal
Juliet Yvaine
Juliet Danielle
Hope that helps!

Juliet Noble
Juliet Holly
Juliet Wren
Juliet Zenaide (Zenaide is really cool)
Juliet Opal

I really like Eloise, I have a niece with the mn Elouise. Juliet is nice, though I wouldn't use it myself. As for your combos, I like Juliet Carys, Juliet Ivy, Juliet Lark and Juliet Patience. Eloise and Juliet would make a beautiful set for sisters.
