Have I gone cuckoo or is this a pretty name?

I'm not a Julia btw.

I think it's pretentious and chavvy. Sorry.

ginbramble · 14/06/2021 21:45

I'm sorry OP but you did ask... it's horrendous.

Skyla2005 · 14/06/2021 21:42

No it's not nice

HereIfYouNeedMe · 14/06/2021 21:17

@TatianaBis

Garyanne it was. 🤣
Hahaha I'll have to suggest this to DH if we ever have a DD 🤣
WhatWouldChristineCagneyDo · 14/06/2021 21:05

No. I'm sorry, but I think it sounds like a contraceptive. Sits alongside Mirena, Cerazette, Cerelle and Dianette.

PrivateParty · 14/06/2021 20:46

Sounds too much like you made it up yourself. Sorry.

Booger123 · 14/06/2021 10:57

It is truly awful, sorry.

Please do not name your child that.

Enko · 14/06/2021 10:49

I quite like it

Classica · 14/06/2021 01:02

It sounds like one of those portmanteau names. Julissa, daughter of Julian and Melissa.

lljkk · 14/06/2021 00:36

I don't mind made-up names, they are all made-up, so that's not an issue.

I just don't think this one sounds that pretty (or strong, or reliable, or elegant, or anything very appealing). I'd prefer others.

Sunbird24 · 14/06/2021 00:30

I know a Julisa, she’s lovely.

MajorNeville · 14/06/2021 00:26

@Pinkypink

There was a character on Cosby show spinoff different world who was called Julisa pronounced ja'lisa
The name is Jaleesa, I can just hear Whitley's annoying voice right now, lol
ZednotZee · 14/06/2021 00:12

Its better tha melissa

Lalliella · 14/06/2021 00:07

Oh dear, no. Sounds like a mash-up - not good.

5566rfghh · 13/06/2021 22:09

Sorry, but cuckoo 🤣😀. Melissa?

partyatthepalace · 13/06/2021 22:03

It sounds made up, and I think it was made up for the Brazilian actress (her name is Julia).

To me Julissa sounds like she lives in a New Mexico trailer park and has been totally fucked over by life. So that’s a no from me Grin but if you want something different from Julia / Juliet Juliana is quite nice

Thehogfatherstolemycurry · 13/06/2021 21:41

It's not a name, it's a mash up of two. Like when a couple used to name their house after themselves in the 1970's thinking they were clever. Steve and Loras house - Steora.

caringcarer · 13/06/2021 21:39

Your daughter would be unlikely to find another child with same name if you want an unique name.

StayCalm99 · 13/06/2021 21:39

No. But then I don't like Vanessa or Melissa either.
I like Julia, Juliet and Julie is a nice name too although not v fashionable right now.

Synchrony · 13/06/2021 21:37

I think it's really pretty and was on my shortlist of middle names.

TatianaBis · 13/06/2021 21:27

Garyanne it was. 🤣

TatianaBis · 13/06/2021 21:26

Two names have mated that should not have done.

Didn’t a poster recently suggest something like Garyette?

Reminds me of that.

wherewildflowersgrow · 13/06/2021 21:20

I don't like it

SeanChailleach · 13/06/2021 21:16

I like it. It sounds like it already exists. It's pretty.

skeemee · 13/06/2021 20:19

Is it not in that Ting Tings song 🎶 that’s Not my name?

Good song. Not such a good name
