What does the name Julian make you think of, what overall vibe does it present, etc.?

Creative type, artist or musician. I like it.

Message him! He might miss you too

My lovely mate Julian who was the best of eggs. We worked together at my first job and in all honesty there were days when he got me though it.

Dark haired, quite interested in fashion, not camp nor effeminate. Very clever and funny.

We've lost touch now and I still feel quite sad about it.

Famous five!
Quite posh, traditional, public school types

Lennon…upper middle spoilt. Sorry.

I had an ex boyfriend called Julian, lovely chap, although he was an ex-con.

Lashings of ginger beer.

Man crouched on a pebbly beach wearing a turtle shell. Covered in questionable mud.

ImImmortalNowBabyDoll · 07/06/2026 17:56

Honestly I associate with a posh bully.

RandomUsernameHere · 07/06/2026 17:53

Someone over the age of 60.

Julian Clary 😁

I could imagine Sam Smith wearing that costume... unfortunately.

Chuffingcupboard · 07/06/2026 17:52

I went to school with a couple, solid farming families, sensible and fun.
Along same lines as Robert, Michael, Peter.

I've a lovely friend called Julian - he's pretty cool not posh or wet

SerendipityCat · 07/06/2026 17:47

I’m old enough to remember Julian and Sandy, the resident outrageously camp characters on Round The Horne, and the almost equally camp actor Julian Orchard. Oh, and the late classical guitarist Julian Bream.
So either camp or a bit posh. Sorry.

DramaAlpaca · 07/06/2026 17:36

To me, it's in the same ilk as Rupert, Tristan, Hugo and Quentin. Quite traditional public school posh. I don't like it much, tbh.

Random321 · 07/06/2026 17:29

I don't think it's posh at all. I think it's awful.

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 07/06/2026 16:25

Makes me think of cunty lil’ picnics and being classist for no good reason.

And making your ten year old sister do all of the washing up…
