tis as I thought. The reason we don't have any friends with little Julians is cos no-one likes it!

Charliebug -looks like it's just you and me that appreciate it.

Julian - I don't like , sorry

Olivia - pretty name although very popular if that bothers you

I don't really like Julian, but that's probably because I knew a really whiney smarmy Julian when I was younger.

Olivia's nice, but really popular now.

I agree that Julia and Juliette are lovely, underused names.

Strongly dislike both. Do not understand the appeal of Olivia at all.

Prefer:
Oliver and
Julia.

Olivia is lovely, it was my first choice for DD

Dont like Julian at all though.

Will follow this thread with interest. Julian is on our boys shortlist. (So obviously I like it)

Olivia is lovely but there's quite a lot of them.
Don't like Julian.
Julia however is underused and I love it!

Julian for a boy or girl?
