I always thought this name was a French form the name Juliet, because in French Juliet would be "zhu-li-ay", while Juliette would be closer to the true pronunciation.

I am not a huge fan of most names beginning with Juli- (except the boy's name Julian), but I prefer this spelling over Juliet. This spelling I think looks prettier.
This is my favorite name for a girl. If I had a daughter right now this is what I would name her! I think it fits a baby and young child, but would continue to grow on her. A teenager would not be ashamed to have this name, nor would a woman think her name sounded like a child. Plus it's an interesting spelling, and I think another cool twist would be Juliett.
I was actually almost named Juliette (my last name is Lewis, and my mom had a bit of an obsession with the actress) That aside, I really do love this name. It's got just the right balance of charm/romance and maturity. It could fit a young girl, a teen, an adult, and a senior citizen alike. This spelling is so much more gorgeous than the rather plain Juliet, and I prefer Juliette's pronunciation with accent on the last syllable, rather than the first. This name is prettier on paper, prettier to say, and probably won't lead to as much Romeo and Juliet jokes. And usually, I find names ending in -ette more charming than their -et counterparts (Violette, Juliette, etc.)
This name is so pretty, and looks great on paper. It also doesn't have the negative connotations that Juliet might have, or any 'Romeo and Juliet' jokes.
I really like this name; I think it sounds intelligent and yet down-to-earth at the same time, and I definitely think the French spelling should be used more often, because it sounds more elegant and feminine. :-)
This is so pretty! It's way better than Juliet, and if you spell it this way you won't have irritating connections to the play, which is just all too obvious.
