I've only ever met one. Is it awful?

I went to school with one, she'd be in her 30s now. Back then, she had great hair and was very precociously sensible. Very likeable name.
I think Sawalha (likeable too) and Goolia (The Wedding Singer, Drew Barrymore, also likeable). I imagine it as having potential to be creative and sophisticated or sweet and friendly.
Hate Julie. Went with Juliette for my DD's middle.

three in their 50's

My DM, and my lovely niece.
Classy name.

John Lennon's mum was called Julia #handyfact

I'm a Julia and I love my name.

CaoNiMartacus · 06/04/2017 21:58

I've only ever met excellent Julias, and one lovely Ukrainian Yuliya.

ElizaDontlittle · 06/04/2017 21:50

2 who are older - 40ish and 50s. It's a pretty name, though I am much less keen on Julie.

YerTiz · 06/04/2017 21:48

I know an 18 month old Julia. Must admit it felt unusual when I heard it at first, but it suits her and she's a darling.

CactusFred · 06/04/2017 21:46

I do and she's 44!

Queensparkles · 06/04/2017 21:43

I don't know any!

Bellaposy · 06/04/2017 21:33

I know a beautiful little Julia born yesterday Smile

ShowOfHands · 06/04/2017 21:32

My SIL is a Yulia.

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 06/04/2017 21:32

My dd goes to nursery with a Julia they are 4 and we are in London.

garmsfresh · 06/04/2017 21:29

I know to my mum and a good friend

ShoutOutToMyEx · 06/04/2017 21:06

I love the name Julia. Really pretty.

DizzyDigestive · 06/04/2017 21:02

I know 1 Julia who is about 53. My DS is Julian.
I prefer Juliette but Julia is still a nice name

Wayfarersonbaby · 06/04/2017 20:57

I know a few Julias in their late 30s/early 40s, and a baby Julia - it's a lovely name. Very classic!

LBOCS2 · 06/04/2017 20:56

I know one very cool Julia who is an interior designer and lovely and extremely capable. She's probably in her late 40s, early 50s now.

I also have a 4yo Juliet, who is funny and smart and beautiful. And I'm not at all biased ;)

DorcasthePuffin · 06/04/2017 20:53

Yes, ranging in age from 8 to 75. I think it's a lovely name.

The one I've met was known as Dewdrop by family and Jules by friends.

Yep my lovely SIL, so my DD also has it as a middle name.

LinaBo · 06/04/2017 20:45

Oh yes, reading this thread I remembered I know another 2 from DD's school, both Polish and 7/8 year olds. Grin

barefoofdoctor · 06/04/2017 20:24

There are a couple of toddler Julia's where I live. Lovely name, not too 'ordinary' but not at all 'far out'. Juliette is also lovely.

SwedishEdith · 06/04/2017 20:21

This is my image of a Julia - from Brideshead Revisited in the 80s.

Do you know a Julia?
littlepooch · 06/04/2017 20:20

I know one - she's 32. It really suits her.
