Julie

[LittleDonkin]

What do we think?

I prefer Julia. Julie seems a bit of a 1960s name to me.

I love Julie! It needs to be revived. I know a Julie, aged about 12 now. Her mum said she named her that because she thought it was so pretty and also there are NO julies around now.(young ones that is). I remember her saying how all the midwives were saying that they had not heard that name for such a long time and that it was so sweet.

Like.

(don't say that very often!)

aw the woman next to me in hospital named her baby Julie it's sweet name
thought folk would be saying yuck actually
lol weegiemaw

Julie is a sweet name, Julia even better

I'm a Julie. I like Juliette better, then she can mess about with it when she's older and can choose to shortern it to Julie if she wishes.

It went into to the 70's as well . It certainly would be strange (but nicely iykwim )to here that name more again.

Now that really is a name I have never heard on a baby.

It's a nice name but a bit soon IMO.

All the mums at school are called Julie (well, the ones that aren't Karen or Nicky or Clare) and are all married to dads called Steve (or Dave)

I like it. A friend of a friend sort of thing is Ju-Leigh!

It is a name of my peers (1975) and not one for a baby. This is what springs to mind

I really like Julia and Juliet, but for some reason am not so keen on Julie.

not keen, I don't think its due a revival just yet, sorry

I like Julie, I think it's one of those Karen names that those of us old/young enough to remember the glut of them in the 60s/70s can't quite imagine coming round again just yet....(I remember my Gran being horrified at Charlotte and Emma etc coming round in the 80s/90s and saying "but they are Granny names". Our children will no doubt see Karen and Julie as similar....

I always think of Danton's (French Rev) wife. It sounds very glam in a French accent.

It is a pretty name - but I do also tend to think too soon for a revival. That's just my taste, though.

It makes me think of Ali G's 'me Julie'

'Me Julie' for me too, but I don't think it would be a problem for the next generation.

I like it and think it could be due a revival.

cakeywakey and 5dollarshake, that is the video I linked to a few posts ago.

Me Joooolie...... something, something, big babylons.........

The reason it has come into my mind was from watching look whos talking too! I just think it is sweet for a baby but not a sickly sweet name for an adult.

Clary how did you know my partner is called Steve?

Love it.

25 years ago when my sister was born my mum and dad only had a boys name picked (as they did with all us girls) so I got the job of naming her, I had two dolls, Karen and Julie, and I wanted to name her after my doll. I'm so thankful it was Julie.

It really suits her and I would love to name DD2 Julie, but DP doesn't agree on naming after family.

It's prettier than say Karen or Claire or Suzanne, but I prefer Juliet. Is that because it's nicer or because it just sounds a bit fresher to my generation??? the latter I suppose. Dated but pretty

Julie is not prettier than Suzanne,

sorry!

yuk.
