Julia or Juliet get my vote, too

Julia or Juliet for me

probonbon · 27/03/2010 12:48

beautiful

MarianneD · 27/03/2010 12:45

Yeah it's nice, they only Julie's I know are all my age but I think that's good that there won't be many babies with the same name.

Not in NZ - as it gets pronounced Jowlie and makes me sound like I have 7 chins. I only have the two.

Didn't Steve Coogan have a Julie ( Joooooolie)//

Prefer Julia. But, saying it out loud, Julie is quite nice really. Suzanne is a great name. Would love to be called Suzie.

pointydog · 26/03/2010 18:17

Julia much nicer

BessieBoots · 26/03/2010 18:07

Lovely! I have named my DS2 (6 months) a name that was popular at the same time as Julie was for girls... I think it's great because it's kind of old fashioned but not old fashioned and too trendy IYKWIM.

You should download the song Julie by the Levellers too. It's lovely

cakeywakey · 26/03/2010 18:07

Julianne is nice too

blue22 · 26/03/2010 18:00

Not convinced about Julie - love Juliet and Juliana though.....

lynnexxxo · 26/03/2010 16:34

One of my dd is Juliet. I live it and am always getting compliemented at what a lovely name it is.

boodleboot · 26/03/2010 16:33

yuk.

Maggie00 · 26/03/2010 14:59

sorry!

Julie is not prettier than Suzanne,

Harrumph

Maggie00 · 26/03/2010 14:30

It's prettier than say Karen or Claire or Suzanne, but I prefer Juliet. Is that because it's nicer or because it just sounds a bit fresher to my generation??? the latter I suppose. Dated but pretty

lola0109 · 26/03/2010 12:59

Love it.

25 years ago when my sister was born my mum and dad only had a boys name picked (as they did with all us girls) so I got the job of naming her, I had two dolls, Karen and Julie, and I wanted to name her after my doll. I'm so thankful it was Julie.

It really suits her and I would love to name DD2 Julie, but DP doesn't agree on naming after family.

Clary how did you know my partner is called Steve?

The reason it has come into my mind was from watching look whos talking too! I just think it is sweet for a baby but not a sickly sweet name for an adult.

cakeywakey and 5dollarshake, that is the video I linked to a few posts ago.

Me Joooolie...... something, something, big babylons.........

gmtbst · 26/03/2010 09:23

I like it and think it could be due a revival.

5DollarShake · 26/03/2010 09:21

'Me Julie' for me too, but I don't think it would be a problem for the next generation.

cakeywakey · 26/03/2010 09:16

It makes me think of Ali G's 'me Julie'

5DollarShake · 26/03/2010 09:13

It is a pretty name - but I do also tend to think too soon for a revival. That's just my taste, though.

Bucharest · 26/03/2010 08:21

I like Julie, I think it's one of those Karen names that those of us old/young enough to remember the glut of them in the 60s/70s can't quite imagine coming round again just yet....(I remember my Gran being horrified at Charlotte and Emma etc coming round in the 80s/90s and saying "but they are Granny names". Our children will no doubt see Karen and Julie as similar....

I always think of Danton's (French Rev) wife. It sounds very glam in a French accent.
