原Love Julia! So beautiful, and classy. I would love to meet a little Julia.

原The meaning is "youth" or young. Thus the fuzzy beard allegation. A Julia is a fractal pattern known for being repeated in crop circles too! My name is Julia and I HATE being called Julie or Juliette. The name is hard to tease so I like that, but got the nickname Bad-Juju or Java. My name was inherited from my great grandmother so it is an old sounding name with victorian images attached to it. In Hawaiian it becomes Kulia which means "I stand" as in stand firm like a rock.

原Julia's are hard to pin down! They are blondes and brunettes, tall and short, but they all seem to be very youthful and kind which is a great tribute to the name!

原Julia is a great, classy name but is highly overused! My sister is named Julia, and my name is Erica. I think that's such a great sister name pairing because they are both 5 letters and end with "a".

原My name is Julia (I was named after my great grandmother) but my family uses the nickname "Jules" a lot. I think without bias that it's a very timeless, beautiful and classy name, although it is severely overused nowadays and it does get annoying knowing so many people with the same name and not knowing if someone is referring to you or the other person.

原I've always thought this name was boring. It's pretty and mature, but very dull and overused. I prefer Juliet, though not by much.

原Julia can be a surname as well, as in the actor Raul Julia who played, amongst many roles, Gomez Addams in the modern movies. Julia can sound like Yoolia, Yuria, Hulia or even Kulia in other languages like Spanish, Japanese, or Hawaiian.

原Julia is awesome.

原Julia is a beautiful name. A perfect, feminine name. :)

原This is my name. A nice, classic, non-ghetto name fit for any girl!

原Zenobia was a 3rd century queen of Palmyrene empire in Syria and second wife of Odaenathus. Her full name was Julia Aurelia Zenobia and she was a descendant of Cleopatra.

原I am curious as to how the majority of people pronounce the name Julia. I have always pronounced all three syllables, ju-lee-ah. Most of my family and friends say "jul-ya". In elementary school when she was in music class the teacher even told her that her name had only two syllables. At the young age of eight she stood firm that it had three. I love that baby girl!

原My 14 year old daughter is named Julia. When she was born the doctor who delivered her said to me "Julia is a great name for a little girl and a great name for the president of a company."

原I have an 11 year old Julia. Full name Julia Pearl. She likes her name, and goes by Jules. It's been a good naming choice for us, as it is 'normal' enough, but not overdone (in our area at least).

原Julia Blaze (also known as Gouenji Yuuka) is a character in Inazuma Eleven.

原Julia is a very beautiful name for a girl and it ages very well. If I ever have I daughter, I'd totally consider using this name!

原I love the name Julia. It's my middle name.

原I just adore this name. I am pronouncing it "joo lee uh"/ "jool ee uh". I've never heard anyone pronounce it "jool yuh". Anyways, if I were to ever have a daughter I would fight for this to be her name... Julia is used in countries all over the world; it is classy, beautiful, unmistakenly feminine, and would be easy for a young child to learn to spell. I love that it's never been trendy... I believe it's popularity has been relatively steady over the years. A Julia could be a doctor or an engineer or a ballerina or an artist. Not much rhymes with Julia so hopefully even the most creative bully couldn't come up with much to tease a little Julia. There are some decent nicknames as well: Jules, Lia, LiLi (like lee lee)I just adore this name!

原The name Julia sounds so elegant. It is definitely on the top of my list!

原I like this name. It's cool. It's classical and has a long history behind it. I think of Julia in George Orwell's 1984 and the songs titled 'Julia' by The Beatles and another by Chris Rhea for his daughter. It also reminds me of Julia Gillard - Australian ex-Prime Minister. Overall, it's a good name with a long history.

原Id like it if it wasnt so incredibly overusedI mean it's not that great anyway. neither do I like it with the English pronunciation of it.

原So pretty and classic, and suits all ages!

原Beautiful and classic, Julia will always hold up. She has already outdone the once tremendously popular Julie, which is now extremely dated. Julia is regal and strong, yet feminine.

原Truthfully, I like the name Julia a lot. Sadly, it's also the name of a really mean girl at school. Therefore, the name sort of is bittersweet... :(

原Very pretty, girly name.

原I've loved this name ever since Whitney Houston played Julia Biggs in "The Preacher's Wife." A beautiful woman with an equally beautiful voice.

原Julia is a lovely, melodic name. Shame it's not that common any more.

原I like this name a lot, especially when pronounced the German way (YOO-lee-ah). I'd use that form, for sure,

原A boring housewife name. When I think of Julia, I imagine a stressed mother vacuuming a living room. No. I don't particularly like this name. It's rather boring. For that person who said its 'soothing'.. No. Just no. It's dull.

原My name's Julia, and I think it's way over-used, and so are all the nicknames, Jules, Juju, etc. The only original one I've gotten is J-dizzle.

原My name is Julianna, and I hate it whenever someone calls me Julia as a nickname. Julia sounds a bit too prissy for my taste. I prefer to be called by Julie or Jules.

原Julia is one of my favorite names - one can use it almost everywhere in the world without people getting totally confused when reading or listening to it. It's a popular name, and not in a bad way (not for me). I like international names because people can just adapt the pronunciation according to what their language sounds. This is a bonus, I think.

原Whenever I hear this name I think of Julia Flyte from "Brideshead Revisited". Her character encapsulates my impression of Julia - classy, elegant, understated.

原Also used in Croatia.

原Elegant and simple. Great choice.

原Personally, I don't like this name. Where I come from, there are many Julias. It reminds me of middle aged women that live in suburbs. Nope. I'd never name my daughter a name as common as Julia.

原Julia Flyte is a character in the book, TV series, and movie "Brideshead Revisited".

原I prefer this as a surname or male middle name.

原OMG! I love this name! One of my faves. So feminine, sweet, classy, upperclass, fun to say. I like these short forms of Julia: Jule(s), Julie, JuJu, Jay, Lia. Also sounds like a princess, queen, or aristocrats name. This is one of those names where popularity doesn't matter, it's so perfect.

原I think Julia is a beautiful, aristocratic name with an old-fashioned charm. I like how it sounds like _jewel_. Julia makes me picture a Victorian lady with rich, red tresses, an alabaster complexion, wearing a beautiful ruby necklace. It has a Victorian aesthetic and glamour, which I like very much.

原"Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter" is a novel by Mario Vargos Llosa published in 1977. It is about an 18 year old student who falls in love and has an affair with his 32 year old aunt, Julia. The novel is based on the author's real life experience. It was turned into a Hollywood film in 1990, under the title "Tune in Tomorrow" in the US (elsewhere same title as the book).

原Call me a ultra name freak, but I want to cry when I meet people with this name BECAUSE I love it so much! I just wish it wasn't so common! It's on my top 5 favorite names! It is SO beautiful. People with this name should be proud. It's my favorite common name.

原To give you an idea of Julia being over-used, I was born in 1992, around the same time as most of my classmates. Three Julias in my year spring to mind plus another girl I know who lives farther away. And that's only in my year. When I searched for all the Julias in my school on Facebook, there were 36 including the girls in my year. Please wait for this name to die down before using it. There are way too many people with this name.

原This is my name. I adore it. I would never consider changing my name. It is very calming and soothing. A great thing about this name is that it stays good from as a child to a senior. Another variant-- Julie, is also good, but I prefer Julia.

原I would love to name my kid Julia. It's not common, the only place I know where it is common Is Deal or No Deal where there are lots of Julias, Julies, Juliannas, Juliannes etc. I think they mean to get all of them, because it's not common.

原Julia originally comes from Latin meaning 'YOUTHFUL'.

原I really like the name Julia, and I don't think it is very common either - I don't know any Julias. I know a lot of Katherines and Jessicas, but no Julias!

原Not common to me - I guess it depends on where you live. I know only one Julia, close to forty by now. One of my favorite names - it's beautiful and it ages well. That's hard to find in a name these days.

原Not common, actually - I know only one Julia.

In Cherchell Algeria, a funeral inscription has been found of Bodina’s. Cherchell was then known as Caesaria, the capital of Mauretania in the Roman Empire. In the funeral inscription, Bodina ascribed Julia Urania as Queen Julia Urania.According to the inscription, she appeared to have taken the gentilicium of her former master, Julia Urania. She could have been a former slave from the Royal Family of Emesa (modern Homs, Syria). Julia Urania was ascribed as queen as a local courtesy or probably a dedication to honor her memory. This indicates that Bodina was a loyal former slave.

原I like this name. I don't think I know any Julias. I know a lot of Julies, but not Julias. The 'a' on the end just adds a refreshing change.

原This is a beautiful, nicely simple, classy and elegant name that you can't really go wrong with. The trouble with this name, for me, is that I associate it with the misfortunate character in Nineteen Eighty-Four, and I can't shake off that association. It's such a tragic story, and her fate is horrible.

原People keep on saying that Julia, as a name, is over-used. Well, I have never met a Julia, & neither have my 4 brothers.

原NO WAY! I can't believe nobody mentioned the Julia in the book "1984", my favorite book of all time (currently, next week, it'll probably be something different).

原I agree that this name sounds beautiful pronounced jool-ee-a. Jool-ya is just not as pretty and can sometimes sound annoying.

原I like this name, and I know and Julia. Her name is said like "Joo-leah." though. Everyone calls her "Jewl-ya" though, her mom is the only one who really says her name right. "Joo-leah", but people try to get it right, and it comes out all funny, and she laughs about it. I love this name. It's sweet, although the "JOO" sound does sound a smidge harsh, I still love it.

原My sister's name is Julia and I think it is very pretty. Especially when you say it with a y in the beginning. I never really thought it was that popular, but then I looked it up and that made me think about it and I realized that I know a lot of Julia's. I like Julia way more than Juliet, which I think is far too common in other countries and all around a heavily dramatic name.

原Pronounced as "YOO-lyah".

原There's a really cool character in Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof (part of Grindhouse) named Julia Lucai, more commonly known as Jungle Julia. She's a Texas DJ with her own record label an overwhelming knowledge of music. She's beautiful too.

原I love the name Julia. I have a friend named Julia. I never really thought about it being popular till I went on this site. I like Julia grace.

原This name is so popular, yet I've only known one Julia in my entire life! I really like this name though, it's very pretty.

原Julia is the name of the actress who portrayed Sophie Scholl in the acclaimed German movie "Sophie Scholl-The Final Days".

原I think this name is pretty, only if it's pronounced ju-lee-a. Not jooool-ya. That sounds so harsh to me.

原My mother's name is Julia, and she doesn't like it much because she thinks the "JOO" sound is harsh and un-lovely. She goes by Julie and my dad calls her Jules (just because it springs to the lips easily). I think it's pretty though, and I don't know of that many Julias.

原My best friend's name is Julia. I'm totally jealous because everyone loves her name. We also call her Jewlz for short and her nephew calls her Aunt J!

原Julia Mills is Dora Spenlow's confidential friend in "David Copperfield" by Charles Dickens.

原I named my 2 year old Julia, I agree that there are a lot of Julia's out there but it is a sweet name, and I like it! At least it's not a made up name or a trendy name that a teacher has a hard time spelling HA HA that is way overused!

原Very nice but very over-used.

原Julia Sullivan is one of the main characters in the film and broadway musical "The Wedding Singer".
