Julia

[W1neNot]

Do we like this or still too old fashioned? I don't like Juliet at all though

Its ok, definitely better than a lot of the in names now and I think it could come back. I'm a teacher and know of a few Julias in primary school now.

I don't like Jools or Julie though so you would need to be ok with those nns.

Edit to add: I don't think it stands out as especially old fashioned.

I know lots of Julias. I much prefer it to Juliet because I don't like it when people say Julie Ette. I dislike Jules and Jools.
I'd say it was a classic name along the lines of Emma and Laura.

I don't think it's old-fashioned. It was never massively popular. I was born in the early 60s and it's my impression there were a lot more Julies than Julias when I was growing up, although I did have one Julia in my year. Juliet/tte even less common then.

I quite like it. It's not my favourite name but it's fine.

I wouldn't say it was old fashioned. Go for it!

Beautiful classic, and my best friend ever.

I love it! It would have been near the top of my list had it not broken one of my "rules" by beginning with J... (I have weird rules!). If I didn't already have a "J" child, I'd have most likely used Julia.

I think it ticks so many boxes. It's a real name, it's easy to pronounce, it's pretty but not fussy...

I vote go for it!

Lovely name. I don't think it's old-fashioned. It's classic.

I think Julie is due a come back soon. Start the trend

I adore this name
Probably because it's my best friends name and she's wonderful

😍

Awful.

Elegant and classic. I like it much better than Julie. Her friends might call her Jools, but whatever name you choose, you can't control what her friends call her once she starts school.

I don't like it at all. I put it in the same sort of box as Sharon and Maureen.

I think it's lovely!

Lovely. I put it in the category of Roman names, like Lydia.

It's a gorgeous name, classy & elegant.

Lovely name. Nothing like Sharon or Maureen. And much better than Julie or Juliet.

Go for it!

Julia is my 'awful girls at school' name, so I'd never use it. But I think it's fine if you aren't me!

Julianne is another alternative, maybe?

Love it

It's my favourite!

Very classic, it's nice and quite unusual these days.

at the person who 'puts it in the same box as Sharon and Maureen' (!) How very strange. It's an upper class name, if anything.

I like Sharon and Maureen. Julia actually seems a breath of fresh air compared with the names that are currently all the rage.
The names seem to be cutesy baby names at the moment not ones that would be suitable for adults.

Julia is a great name :)!

It's classic, versatile, feminine (instead of cutesy...) and rather international.

Very classIf and elegant

You could choose a lot worse....

Go for it!
