What does this name bring to mind? What time of child/family do you envision? (Thanks in advance - really helpful as we are are narrowing down names!)

Lovely - I’d think baby Julius had siblings and cousins named Hector, Barnaby, Dougal ie middle class, but not out there posh like Merlin or Mungo which the very posh I know named their children. I imagine him dressed in mini boden and wearing bright colours with wild hair and the family gun dog is his best friend. I probably sound mad but you asked.

Laidback, quirky, clever. I didn't even think of Caesar, probably because he's generally known by that name, not Julius.

Caesar, obvs. And he'll probably be called Jules which I quite like. No strong thoughts on the family, although I'd say either chavvy or very posh...not so much the middle!

I like it. The dad was called “Julius” in the TV series “Everybody Hates Chris” and he was a nice character.

Makes me think of Julius Caesar

Edited to add I would think the family were likely middle class and maybe the name comes across as a bit try hard. Sorry!
