Julia Ivy?
I've about given up on middle names for Julia. Ivy is the only one I'm kind of liking. I don't want a long middle name, as our last name is long. What are your thoughts on Julia Ivy?I know some think Julia is dated, but DH and I have such different taste in girls names. Julia is the only name we can actually agree on. Thanks.

You could do a lot worse. Julia's not dated, it's very much in style now and hasn't ever really been out of style. I prefer Julie myself, but your combo is decent.

Julia Ivy is awkward to say and does not flow well at all. I would try to find a one-syllable middle name that begins with a consonant. But Julia is a lovely name and I don't think it's dated.

Julia is lovely! I'm not sure about the combo though. I feel like Ivy doesn't go very well with Julia. The flow is off. What other middle names have you considered?Just a few suggestions:
Julia Eve
Julia Wren
Julia Faith
Julia Belle
Julia Brynn
Julia Sky
Julia Claire
Julia Lark
Julia Mae
Julia Pearl
Julia Sage

I think Julia and Ivy are both lovely (not "dated") and I enjoy the feel of them together. Some are mentioning the flow but I don't think it's a deal breaker if you really love both names, especially when you are hearing them together with your surname.Other ideas, just in case (some nature-related)...Julia Carys
Julia Dove
Julia Gwen
Julia Kay
Julia Maeve
Julia Robin
Julia Summer
Julia Tess
Julia Winter

There are a lot of young Julia's around me. Although i can see it as a bit dated, i also see it as quite popular right now anyway. Julia Ivy is a great combo.

I don't think Julia and Ivy go together very well. Julia Ivory would be better.

Julia is a pretty name and works well. The only reason that I don't think Ivy works well because of two vowel sounds next to each other which makes it sound a bit odd to me.
