Shadow1234 · 14/10/2018 03:38

Not my cup,of tea- sorry

ilovepixie · 14/10/2018 03:54

Bit gay.

Lovely name (brings back fond memories of a very sexy Julian I once knew!) def not homosexual Grin

ReginaPhalange89 · 14/10/2018 18:13

I dont like it at all. It sounds SO feminine.

TakeAChanseyOnMe · 14/10/2018 18:15

I really like it. Reminds me of the Famous Five too but not in a bad way.

Julian Casablancas is indeed gorgeous but definitely in the “posh” group. He went to the most expensive boarding school in the world, Le Rosey in Switzerland.

I like it.

BertramKibbler · 14/10/2018 18:18

The only Julian I know is a tossed of the highest proportion so it’s a no from me

BlackLambAndGreyFalcon · 14/10/2018 18:19

A male relative has this for his middle name and absolutely hates it because he associates it with Julian clary.

But there's a little boy in dd's class with this name and it absolutely suits it.

Personally I associate it with the famous 5 rather than Julian clary!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 14/10/2018 19:51

It's a nice name but You'd have to have something distinguising and striking about you to suit it.

BurtTyrannosaurusMacklin · 14/10/2018 19:54

I like it

bridgetreilly · 14/10/2018 21:39

"I'm Julian and this is my friend, Sandy."

It's a no from me too.

Cottonia · 14/10/2018 21:41

It says Tory MP to me. Not necessarily a negative though.

Cottonia · 14/10/2018 21:41

My second thought would be Famous Five.

SumAndSubstance · 14/10/2018 21:43

I'm currently working my way through the Famous Five with DS1 so at the moment it seems like an excellent name.

Moominfan · 14/10/2018 21:43

I love it

shirleyschmidt · 14/10/2018 22:00

The gorgeous Julian McMahon just about pulls it off but I don't like it at all.
There was a thread recently about what people think of as 'wet' names and the name Julian came up a lot.

smallfootpercy · 14/10/2018 22:18

Dad's name so I love it! He gets called "Jules" by his old uni friends but full name by everyone else.

Josiebloggs · 14/10/2018 22:21

I love it, it was on our shortlist using the nickname Jules until he grew into Julian.

YolandiFuckinVisser · 14/10/2018 22:24

The oldest of the famous five, sanctimonious, superior, mysoginist, racist, xenophobic, upper class twit.
