My name is Julie Anne, and I love the name Julie, but I wouldn't have minded Julianne either. My family does call me Julie-Anne a lot though.

Julianne Hough, an American professional ballroom dancer, country music singer, and television celebrity.
She has won several international titles and is the youngest professional dancer ever to have competed on the televised competition Dancing with the Stars, winning the overall title in her very first year on the show.
This is a beautiful, elegant name, and it sounds a bit more mature than Julianna, although I like both. Not many names that are basically combinations of two names are good, and this is a nice exception to the rule. It's too ordinary and common for my taste, but very nice.
Julianne Regan was the lead singer of All About Eve (one of my favourite bands), who are probably most famous for their song Martha's Harbour and the unfortunate technical error that occurred during their performance on Top of the Pops.
I have to admit, this name endears itself more and more to me because of the stunning Julianne Moore. I love Julia, but I think Julianne is a gorgeous name as well.
