Is Julia due a revival?

People often mention it on here as a suggestion but is it too boring and middle aged?

OP posts:

I love Julia. I very nearly called DD Julia but she didn't look anything like one!

SuperGinger · 21/05/2023 08:19

Great name so is Julian

Julia is a gorgeous name and I know a small one well who always gets compliments on it. Strong, simple and classic.

barbarahunter · 21/05/2023 08:20

It's a pretty name

Soproudoflionesses · 21/05/2023 09:16

Love it and would tick the ages well box.

I want to call my next one Julia!

Smashingwatermelons · 21/05/2023 09:31

Julia is lovely, and I also like Yulia & Juliet

DorritLittle · 21/05/2023 09:35

I like it. And Julie/Juliet

TheOtherHotstepper · 21/05/2023 09:36

We've got one. Definitely a classic name.

I wasn't aware that it had gone away. Juliet it nice but I dislike the way that some say it as Julie-Ette. Juliette is only ok if you 're french IMO. Giulia is only ok if italian.

Yes, Juliet seems to be getting popular, but I actually prefer Julia.

ididntknowthat11 · 21/05/2023 11:04

I like Julia but feel it has always been fairly popular.

Julie and also Jill I really like which could be due a revival. I know of one of each born within the last three years.

I also know a young Julietta, which I find too flowery for my tastes.

DuchessOfSausage · 21/05/2023 11:08

Jill is lovely, but don't like Gillian (although I know some nice ones)
Juliana and Julietta are too much, and like Juliette will be Julie.

Giulia will get misspelt as Julia, Gulia and Guilia.

There are 3 in my dds preschool class of 26 so maybe it's already been revived

We have friends with Italian heritage who spell it Giulia.
I love it spelt this way. Although it may be a pain for her to constantly correct people
Our friend's daughter has bags of confidence and is not shy to tell people.

It is a name I love. It reminds me of Julia Roberts. Very glam and strong.
