What does the name Julian make you think of, what overall vibe does it present, etc.?

To me upper class, wealthy, effeminate, for no good reason.

The Famous Five.
Nice but a bit wet.

King Julien from Madagascar

Famous Five. Posh child telling off obedient working class background characters.

Assange.

It’s a very blond name in my head, for some reason.

Posh and wet.

BeneficialOrange · Yesterday 05:45

Famous five, upper class, bit pathetic.

Which is ridiculous, because the only one I've known personally was a violent gangster who went on to be done for murder.

I use to be in love with a boy called Julian when I was 13, this was back in the 80s. He was far from posh or wet 😄

Definitely blond with floppy hair. Poncey

SparklyGlitterballs · Yesterday 05:49

Yeah, a bit upper class, posh. A bit effeminate. The two that come immediately to mind are Assange and Clary.

TheMillionthBeautyAddict · Yesterday 05:49

King Julien. Julian Clary.

JuliettaCaeser · Yesterday 05:53

I think gay. Maybe because of Julian clary?

Clickrodio · Yesterday 05:54

Not a nice person but I know a Julian in real life and I don’t like him.

menopausequeen · Yesterday 06:14

Not good ones

Julian Fawcett from Ghosts - a posh Tory MP who died in a scandal and doomed to spend all of eternity as a trouserless poltergeist. He’s my favourite character 😂

HoraceCope · Yesterday 06:38

agree, posh, blonde and wet
although i do know two and one isnt posh or wet and the other one is not wet either. but they are both blonde!

Famous five

To me Julian sounds like a mature, sensible kind of boy. I like it.

Amiacoolorwarmcolour · Yesterday 06:53

Posh and very arty.
Tall with floppy hair.

This!

I just think of Julian Cope from Teardrop Explodes. He's quite interesting.

TheyGrewUp · Yesterday 07:44

It was of my era. I knew lots of Julians growing up and at work. They were, without exception, very nice, hardworking types. To be fair all middle class. I think it's a great name and due a comeback. Their friends were: Jeremy, Tim, John, Simon, Phil, etc.

OnlyMabelInTheBuilding · Yesterday 07:48

Posh and effeminate.

NinetyNineRedBalloonsGoByAgain · Yesterday 08:27

A twat

Silverbirchleaf · Yesterday 08:28

Posh and blond also.

A858 · Yesterday 08:32

Tall, dark, confident, handsome, but that’s because I think of the actor Julian McMahon
