Re: Julia Lavender.
Great combo.I like Julia and I like Lavender. Both have the exact same feel to them, they remind me of sweet, mature, bookish young ladies. I've never actually known any Lavender's but the character Lavender from Matilda by Roald Dahl was that way. More than 2/3's of the Julia's I've known were sweet, mature, bookish girls.Even though Julia was so popular in the 80's I don't feel that it seems dated. 7 years ago I felt Julia seemed dated but it seems fresh to me again. And Lavender isn't too unknown or out there.So in conclusion I think Julia Lavender is a good sounding combo that also matches well. As someone else said Lavender goes well with Julia because Lavender spices up the combo since it is a less common name.

Also...I think both names go well together because they are both purple names. Lavender is a lavender darker dusty shade of purple and Julia is a wisteria or lilac shade that is in between pink and purple but leans more towards purple.

Thanks for your input! It's interesting that you say Lavender is darker purple and Julia is more lilac, because I associate them with the opposite colors! But I'm glad we both see them as purple, at least. :)

It's weird but I thought Julia must have been super common in the 80's yet it wasn't. Now I'm curious how popular it was in Washington state because in elementary school I had two or three Julia's in my age / year group though one went by Julie probably to differentiate herself. Then in middle school there were two completely different Julia's. After that I haven't met that many Julia's. I just happened to know a lot of Julia's who went to school with me. I guess the name didn't actually become popular until the 2000's.
