We're pregnant with #2 and having a hard time deciding on a girl name since this will be our 2bd girl. Our first girl is Lillian Adele (Lily) and our last name is a Mc name with 3 syllables ending in -en.
Middle name will be Elaine. We're stuck between Juliette and Joanna, but open to other name suggestions. We like feminine, classic, traditional sounding names.

I like both but I picked Joanna. I like the nickname Jo. I suggested it if DS had been girl (of course DH turned it down bc he hates every name 
)

Of your two choices, I like Juliette Elaine. What about Josette? I love the NN Josie.

@youboots: I immediately think of Dolly Parton and her song about the man-stealing Jolene! Lol.
@Purpledaisy: DH heavily favors Joanna because he loves Jojo as a nickname. DD has said she likes Joanna too,but I think she's saying that because Dada likes it.
@lady baltimore: Josie is super cute, but I'm not sure about Josette. I'll mull it over.
Name suggestions do not have to be J names! Lol, Our top 2 just happen to be both Js.

I love Joanna! If you like the nickname Josie you could use Josephine.
Other ideas: Audrey, Clara, Amelia, Hannah, Norah, Abigail

I think we have similar taste as my oldest daughter's name is the same as yours and for my second, Juliette was a top contender! I loved it and the nickname Jules. We prefer traditional, classic names that are not too common - and ended up naming our second Jocelyn. Josie and Jojo are potential nicknames, though we tend to call her joss or jossy. Congrats and good luck!

Would Juliet have nn Julie? I don't care for Julie and Lily.
I prefer Lily and Jojo

@T.H.O.U.: Juliette would probably have the nn Jules.
Thanks all for the name suggestions! I'm going to run these by Dh and see what he thinks.
@Mrs. Champagne: suuuuper cute! I dunno if Dh would go for Poppy, but that is adorable.

@abbydabbydoodlebug: I love Juliette with Jules as a nickname. Another pretty name that is similar, Juliana and you can use Jules or even Ana as nicknames.

I love Juliette! We briefly thought of using Juliet ourselves.
I'm not crazy about the double vowel sounds of Joanna Elaine together, they kind of mush together when you say it out loud

I love Juliette ! I'd like to use it as a middle name if this baby is a girl! But it's been vetoed before...!

What about Justine with that middle name?
lol only because it's my name, and I have that middle name with a last name that sounds similar to yours, haha! And I think it sounds nice.
