Julien for a girl?

[PonderingGirlsNames]

Would it work as a girls name? I'm not so keen on the Julienne spelling. It would be her middle name...

All i can think of is carrots.

At the moment i love the name sorrel

No it's a boys' name!

I think anything goes really when it's the middle name. Julian of Norwich was a woman so it's not entirely wacky.

Try Julie Julia Juliet Juliette

Most, but not all, Juliens or Julians are male.

If you don’t like Julienne I guess you don’t like Julie-Ann either?

I wouldn't, and there are loads of female equivalents as noted by pps, but if it's a middle name no one else will really care.

I’ve never heard of Julien or Julienne only Julian the boy’s name. Not keen sorry.

Julienne is the female version of Julien.

Anything is fine for the middle name. Is the first name usually a girl's name?

It's totally fine for a middle name. Lots of girls/women have masculine middle names, or ones that are traditional surnames. Anyway, middle names are rarely used so it's pretty inconsequential.

I prefer Julian, as in Julian of Norwich. Julian was apparently used for girls in medieval times, though it’s also thought she may have been known by the name of the church where her enclosure was.

I like Julien/Julian much better as a girls' name. Personally I think it is one of many current "boys" names which works much better for girls.

I met a little Julianna recently. Would that work for you?

Or the Italian spelling Giuliana?

It's fine for a middle name as she won't be constantly correcting people or explaining it like she would if it were her first name. I know several people with surnames as middle names. It's hardly ever used so go for it.

Juleen, Julien and Julienne, Juliette, Julia, Julie are all girls' names.
Do you like Juleen or Julia? I prefer them.

tbh given the complete monstrosities ppl come up with these days, its completely fine.

Julian isn't even nice as a boy's name. Julien will be assumed to be a boy with French or Belgian heritage.

Famous five.

I know it because of julien baker American singer.

It’s a boys name. How about Julianna or Juliette? All I can think about is King Julien from the movie Madagascar 🙈

Isn't sister Julienne Jenny Aguetter in call the midwife?

Julien looks wrong for a girl somehow

Julien McDonald is a Welsh male fashion designer.

I love the Italian, Giuliana, as mentioned by a pp. I went to school with one who was a lovely person.

I know quite a few females whose names are the male spelling of their unisex name! It really doesn't matter. Have what you want, your child won't get fed up correcting because it's a middle name!

For a middle name, sure. I don't think it matters. Although personally I dp prefer the feminised Julienne spelling.

I would choose another middle name rather than give her a male one.
