Baby Julia needs a middle name ✨

Baby is due this week. We are 99% sure she will be Julia but have not decided on a middle name. My favorites are Jane and Rose. DH prefers Elizabeth or Claire. Does anyone have suggestions on or off the list? Last name begins with C and is 2 syllables. Thanks!

Julia Jane
Julia Rose
Julia Elizabeth
Julia Claire
Julia Vivienne
Julia Evelyn
Julia …

Best to avoid a middle name starting with a vowel so they run together more smoothly.
Middle names a pretty irrelevant really. Pick something you love separately or that has family meaning. Julia is a lovely name.

Would you want JJ as a nickname? Because that is possible with Jane

Oh she could do Julia-Jayne!

Really like Julia Jane. I like the alliteration.

Not a fan of Julia Jane. Your first name or middle name as middle name?

ANightingaleSang · 29/09/2024 07:51

I love Julia Jane ❤️

Butterflyfern · 29/09/2024 07:57

Julia Claire for me.

I don't like your choices, sorry. Rose is standard filler and Julia Jane sounds like a goody two shoes Enid Blyton character. I wouldn't blink someone announcing Julia Elizabeth, but there's nothing especially grabbing me about it either iykwim.

What about Christine?

marshmallowfinder · 29/09/2024 09:02

Rosalind?

Julia Jane for some reminds me of Amelia Jane - the naughty doll from the Enid Blyton books. That's probably just me being weird though 😅.

Julia Elizabeth feels like too much of a mouthful. The others are all nice, although I agree that Rose feels very like a filler middle name.

Every girl has Rose as a middle name it’s been done to death, along with Grace/May.

Claire and Elizabeth are nice.

Julia Joy

Julia Maude

Katielovesteatime · 29/09/2024 11:22

Julia Rose is perfect

Suz8 · 29/09/2024 11:41

Julia Roberts is Julia Fiona. Not sure if I like the -a/-uh ending on both names so I'd prob avoid anything ending in a similar way to Julia.

I like Julia Claire I think. It's balances the three syllables nicely.

Suz8 · 29/09/2024 11:45

Julia Eve
Julia Frances

marshmallowfinder · 29/09/2024 11:57

Julia Eve, Julia Elizabeth etc aren't good because it becomes Julia Reeve, Julia Relizabeth when said quickly. Don't use an E name.

marshmallowfinder · 29/09/2024 11:59

Katielovesteatime · 29/09/2024 11:22

Julia Rose is perfect

Apart from the fact that it's most other girls' middle name and utterly done to death!

PennyPencils · 29/09/2024 12:41

Another vote for Julia Jane. It really rolls beautifully and stands out for me way above the others.
Congratulations

dizzydizzydizzy · 29/09/2024 12:52

Julia Joanna is nice.

Although to be honest, I always choose a family name for the middle name.

SoNiceToComeHomeTo · 29/09/2024 12:56

A one syllable second name would sound good with Julia and C_.
Julia Jane is very nice, or Julia Grace?

SheilaFentiman · 29/09/2024 14:18

@RedOnyx me too; it’s the assonance.

Julia Kate
Julia Ruth
Julia Beth/Bess
