Thought on Julie?

[Wtf2023]

Julie sarah or Aisling??

Prefer Julia to Julie and also like Aisling

Juliet always just makes me think of how things ended for Romeo and Juliet....

Awful. Disclaimer my exh had an affair with a Julie. Possible not all are morally bankrupt

I’m a Julie and I love my name - I’m in my 30s. I don’t meet that many people with this name, but it is a well known and international name.

Funny that PP are saying it’s an old lady name, I’m from France and I know lots of Julies my age (at one point at school we were 3 Julies in the same class) however I don’t know any older ones. Different countries, different name trends I guess!

Julie is a lovely name. It sounds happy and light. Much prefer it to the more dreary sounding Julia or Juliet. I'm not a fan of Aisling though I don't hate it.

I'm of the Julie generation, there were lots at school and I still have a Julie friend.

It was on my shortlist about 25 years ago but fits awkwardly with our surname.

awful

Aisling is nice though

I slightly prefer Julia but I always think Julie looks and sounds very cheerful somehow. It's not common nowadays, but remember children of the same age don't know that, and it's certainly not a "weird" name that anyone would make fun of. I say go for it if you love it. Having said that, Sarah is one of my all-time favourites! I quite like Aisling, but unless you live in Ireland, I think it will be mispronounced a lot.

@lljkk I pronounce Aisling as Ashling- I'm Irish living in Dublin.

If it's for a character in a book you're writing set in the 80's who is a teenager, Julie is perfect. If not - no.

Julie Dawn
Julie Marie
Julie Ann
Julie Elizabeth

Julie is due a revival! It's very cute.

These were exactly the first and middle name combinations of my peers in the 60s...I think Julie and Dawn in themselves should be considered as the pretty girls names that they are, there is no legal requirement for a middle name. If you want to give one be different or give respect tona family member, it doesn't matter if it goes or flows, first name plus surname is official, nickname and surname is day to day..middle name is of interest only when there is a story behind it

I know a 3 year old Jooli

Wait until you meet my mother

😂

i am not keen on it
but it may have a new lease of life in 2023

In the 1960s it was almost compulsory to use Anne as Julie's middle name. Bring it up-to-date by making her a Julie May, Julie Rose or Julie Grace

I know a 3 year old Jooli

Poor little Jooli. A naff name and a stoopid spelling that no one will ever get right.

Poor kid

Julie is a 58yo lollypop lady. Julia is an aspiring actress, she's also a bit dull.

Go for it - it’s a lovely name that’s due a revival, and it’s unusual in 2023 without having to resort to making up names in order to be youneeq.

Julie might come back one day, but it's too soon now I think. It's from the same era/trend as Tracey, Linda and Dawn.

If your name features in the title of a Strindberg play I think you're a few rungs above Tracey and Linda.
