I dont mind it, although I think I prefer Juliette, or Julianna

kitsmummy · 18/05/2009 16:00

No, sorry, think it sounds very dated

EyeballsisonaDietAgain · 18/05/2009 16:01

Very pretty and not too fussy.

Peachy · 18/05/2009 16:01

Lovely, a good choice

I think its lovely.

I don't exactly like it but I do think it's a good strong classic name, if that makes any sense at all.

I know a nine year old Julia who suits it perfectly lovely name for a little girl imo but ages well too

womma · 19/05/2009 20:50

I've never met a Julia who wasn't lovely, go for it!

myredcardigan · 19/05/2009 21:18

I have a Julia in my class this year. She is lovely in every way. It's a strong, classy name IMO.

Kbear · 19/05/2009 21:20

I think it's a classic, love it.

Know several Julia's old and young...I like it.

ilovemydogandMrObama · 19/05/2009 21:29

love it!

Was on our shortlist, but used Juliet as DD's middle name.

hester · 19/05/2009 21:30

Love it. It's a big name in my family as well.

BoysAreLikeDogs · 19/05/2009 21:31

Julia is a beautiful name

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 19/05/2009 21:31

Not bad.

Better than Candice.

Can't you start one thread with your short list of names?

Tinker · 19/05/2009 22:23

Beautiful, beautiful name. Think Diana Quick in Brideshead

QClinic · 19/05/2009 22:26
