Julia or Tulia?

[vampirethriller]

Just that! Which is nicer?

I'm going to say neither. Julia is old fashioned and Tulia sounds like a made up name.

Hmmmm Julia is better than Tulia

Tulia? Is that a name? Looks like a typo for Julia

Julia is lovely

Julia.
Tulia looks like a typo.

Tulia is Latin. Can be spelt Tullia.
I don't like any of the popular old fashioned names like Florence/Violet/Alice but I don't want a modern sounding name either!v my own name is ridiculous and I want something normal but not over used....

Both are nice, but I prefer Julia.

Is Tulia pronounced Tooleea, Tyew-leea or Tullya?

I like Yulia....

Then spell it Tullia.

Although the most famous Tullia in classics was Cicero's daughter, who died as a child, triggering his Consolatio, so it has sorrowful connotations. It's a very pretty name though, just don't invent a spelling!

Tooleea.
I didn't invent the Tulia spelling, I've seen it written that way in name books. I know the Cicero's daughter story from my Roman history degree, her sister was Julia, I've always liked the sound of both names.

Or I thought her sister was Julia, but it's a long time ago I did my degree and could be wrong and getting confused!!

I think people would think Tulia was a typo/misheard and 'correct' it to Julia.

Julia! And don't listen to the old fashioned comments. Most names were at some point.

Julia goes with my surname. It's surely not unusually old fashioned when people are using Ivy and Mabel etc.
(historical Tullia didn't even have a sister so god knows where I got that from)

Julia. It's a lovely name. Underused now, probs because to some people it's dated. To me it sounds classy, elegant and great that it's known but not popular.

Surely Tulia and Tullia would be pronounced differently though. Tulia should rhyme with Julia, but the double L version (which us the only way I've seen it in Latin) would rhyme with 'woollier'. Either way, Julia is nicer.

If you want it to be pronounced Tullia you have to spell it like that.

I love Julia.
Tulia is very nice too, but I would spell it Tullia -that's the original Latin spelling.

I like Tullia pronounced to rhyme with woolier. Tulia does seem like a typo and Julia is fine but I don't love it. Have you considered Thalia?

Julia is one of my favourite names.

I'm not so keen on Tulia. I haven't heard it before and I assumed (albeit wrongly) that it was something you had made up. I imagine others will think the same.

I like the Tulia pronunciation over Tullia hence the way I spelt it. I like Julia more than Tulia!
How would you say Thalia?

If I saw it written down I'd probably "correct" Tulia to Julia. I might even pronounce it as Julia because T looks very similar to J in most fonts.

How would you say Thalia?

Ta-lia

'Ta' as in the slang for 'thank you'.
'Lia' as in the end of 'Julia'.

Thalia- rhymes with failure. No idea where the Talia pronounciation comes from.

Ahh Julia is a lovely name, not sure on Tulia though...
