I think it's lovely.

ShanghaiDiva · 09/09/2017 01:46

Agree - great name.

Grimmfebruary · 09/09/2017 01:48

I think it's lovely :) I also like Juliette

SugarTyler · 09/09/2017 01:52

Thanks :) it's 3 syllables, isn't it? The internet seems to say 2 Shock

I think it's just similar to the whole William pronunciation (Will-yum or Will-i-um) so (Jul-ya or Jul-i-a)

Ju-lee-a

Although I'm from the north east, 3 syllables yes but our pronunciation is not always best haha

SugarTyler · 09/09/2017 02:09

I'm from Kent, and say it the same :D

It comes out funny if you try squash it down to 2 syllables! "Jool-ya" sounds horrible haha! Definitely 3 syllables.

DramaAlpaca · 09/09/2017 02:28

Lovely, classic name. I love it.

It has three syllables.

Ankleswingers · 09/09/2017 02:42

Love this name Smile

Bubblesoup · 09/09/2017 07:37

Beautiful! And yes, 3 syllables.

MammieBear · 09/09/2017 08:57

Lovely name, juliet and julianne/a are variations but I don't think you can beat the original form.

StrumpersPlunkett · 09/09/2017 08:59

Gorgeous. Just had a Julia start in my year 1 class reminded me of how pretty it is as a name.
Go for it!

NigellasGuest · 09/09/2017 08:59

Absolutely beautiful - and not that common at the moment. I think it's lovely!

Highpeak · 09/09/2017 09:42

I like it, elegant

lavenderbees · 09/09/2017 09:45

Yes 👍👍

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 09/09/2017 09:50

Very nice, as is Juliet.

bridgetreilly · 09/09/2017 09:59

I prefer Juliet.

Definitely three syllables, though!

SuperBeagle · 09/09/2017 10:38

Julia is lovely. 3 syllables.

I do prefer Juliet though.
