I've only ever met one. Is it awful?

I know a lovely Julia in her late 20s. She's awesome.

I know one English Julia who is 12. But I supply teach in primary schools in London and every class has one as it pretty popular with Polish parents - sometimes pronounced Yulia.

One 13 yo and one in 40s. Im in my 50s and was at school with a few and know a few Julies.

Panicmode1 · 06/04/2017 19:52

I was at school with one and I work with one - both over 40!

WhiteHairReally · 06/04/2017 19:53

One in her 59s, one in her 20s. I think it is a very elegant 'spare' name. I think if it in the Frances, Celia, Grace and Helena zone.

I like it. The Julia I know is lovely, as is the Juliet.

moogletea · 06/04/2017 19:55

I know a 4 year old Julia who is beautiful

LinaBo · 06/04/2017 19:57

Very popular in my home country. I know one in the UK, she's 9 and lovely Smile

Jooni · 06/04/2017 19:58

Yes I know one in her early fifties. She's fab and very cool though. My dad is a Julian, he's less cool but I still think he has a great name.

I think Julia is a beautiful name - very classy, timeless and international. I love Jules as a shortening too.

DoItTooJulia · 06/04/2017 19:58

I know a Julia. Mid 30s.

My nn is from 1984. Julia was Winston's lover.

LinaBo · 06/04/2017 19:58

I just looked it up, it's top 10 in my home country and I know quite a few there.

My HR manager has a 7 year old called Julia. I love it! She's Lithuanian with an English husband and said they wanted a name that fitted both cultures.

BellMcEnd · 06/04/2017 20:01

I know 2. One her 40s and a 7 year old. It's a lovely name

yesnowplease · 06/04/2017 20:01

One - mid 20s.

I like it.

seven201 · 06/04/2017 20:03

I know 2 Julia's (one 30 something, one teen) and a Julie. I like Julia.

bruffin · 06/04/2017 20:06

22 intelligent and pretty

My 39 year old best friend x

jamie2 · 06/04/2017 20:07

Yes but it's a bit old fashioned imo

ABCFamily · 06/04/2017 20:08

Went to school with one, and uni with another. They'd both be in their early thirties now.

Also know a baby Julia (

elQuintoConyo · 06/04/2017 20:10

One Brit aged 40. And an entire bunch of all sorts of ages - I'm in Spain.

Also one MNer DoItToJulia from 1984 Grin

Misspilly88 · 06/04/2017 20:10

I know a lovely one in her 30s

Sophronia · 06/04/2017 20:11

I don't know any. It's a lovely name.

Natsku · 06/04/2017 20:11

Yes, about 5 years old. Not in the UK though and pronounced Yulia. In the UK most Julias I knew were 40+

Phantommagic · 06/04/2017 20:12

I know a few. In 50s, 40s, a handful of teens and a baby. Very nice name.

ABCFamily · 06/04/2017 20:12

Forgot to say - I was ambivalent about the name, but quite like it since meeting baby Julia.
