Julian's a boys name, isn't it? Julia is the female version.

Or Julianna, which is nice.

Theofania (the original name from which Tiffany comes) is nicer than Tiffany imo.

Julianne, Julianna, Julie or Julia would be the female versions of Julian. I love Julianna.

Julian has been a girl's name (cf Julian of Norwich). I like it.

I do like Tiffany but that's partly because I know a lovely one.

Julian is a boy's name.

Julian of Norwich was called Julian - her name is unknown. The name "Julian" derives from the fact that her cell was built onto the wall of the Church of St Julian in Norwich.

Epic fail there - Julian of Norwich was NOT actually called Julian - she is known to history as Julian (for the above reason) but her real name is not known

I wouldn't call a girl Julian

I loathe Tiffany but because that's because of the EastEnders character I doubt that will be an issue for her peers

Since it is a girl, you should choose a girl's name.

Do you actually mean Julian for a girl, or do you mean Julianne?

Julian is definitely only a boy's name and you will provide her with a lifelong irritant and make her life very complicated if you call her Julian. Shock

Tiffany is horrible. What about Justine or Juliet?

Julian is not "definitely" only a boy's name. I know a 12 year old girl with that name. She's the first I've heard of, but it really suits her. Maybe because she's very feminine/pretty looking though? I can imagine there'd be potential confusion if she was boyish looking? I remember my much older brother's friend referring to me as "your little brother" when I was around that age - the name "Alex" and a very unflattering short haircut really didn't help Grin

Just been googling and the only reference I can find to another female Julian is en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Children_of_Men ... Probably not a coincidence that the mother of the female Julian I know is an author.

Perhaps OP would prefer Julienne? I love it, could be Jules for a nn.

Julienne reminds me of vegetables.

I think we have so far identified two or at most three females with the name Julian, one of whom was actually anonymous and known as Julian only because it was convenient, and one of whom was a fictional character.

I really don't think Julian qualifies as a girl's name..

True, Luna - in fact a Tiffany might feel rather alone now...
