Julius is a great name. I know two adults called Julius. Both very confident and outgoing men.

Neither !!

Claudius, anybody?

I always find a good test is to try saying, "Come in Claudius, your tea's ready".

Please don’t!

Your poll is defective. There is no option for 'please don't do that to a child'.

Julian or Marcus

Neither - unless you're planning for him to have a career in imperial management.

How about Angus ? Still get the Gus when shortened

Julian inplace of Julius
