I like this name but worry it might get shortened to Julie or Jules! What does everyone else think? Would you shorten it to that and does it matter?

I know a Julius. He's either Julius or Jules. Lovely name!

He’d inevitably be called ‘Caesar’.
How would you feel about that?

I wouldn't shorten it. I have an Alexander who I've always called his full name as I don't like the name Alex... sometimes we call him
Xander but it's not short as such haha
If you did shorten it I would use 'Jule'

Jules or Ju. Or just insist on the full version!

Luis Lewis

I know a Julian who goes by Jules.

FizzingWhizzbee123 · 25/09/2020 23:04

Probably Jules, which is fine. Unisex IMO. I knew a very cool snowboarder dude who went by Joolz

I know a Julius who goes by J/Jay sometimes. Has never been teased with Julie to my knowledge!

Julio
Jule
Jue
Julie McJule face

Or depending on what school they go to, Cunty chops

Jules

Probably Jules. In The Famous Five, they used to call Julian ‘Ju.’ Can’t think of any other nicknames unless his middle name began with the right letter, then he could be J.D, J.C, J.J etc. I always think if you don’t like any short forms of a name you shouldn’t use it though, because there’s always a chance they’ll be called it at some point.

It will be shortened by some, three syllable names always are. The name julius is fab, but the shortenings aren’t. And he’ll probably be called Caesar a lot too.

Yes, sorry, first thing I thought of was ‘ Julie ‘, sprang instantly to mind. Poor kid’s life would be a misery at school.

PlantPotting · 24/09/2020 16:42

The shortenings would completely put me off the name sorry
