Comments for the name Julius

Name of the fairy police Commander in the popular Artemis Fowl series.

I adore *Julius*. It's timeless and very masculine.

I love this name! It's so classy, unique and heroic. It's not so popular but so strong and simply beautiful. I think it's one of the greatest names ever. It reminds me of a smart, mysterious guy who has something attractive that other people don't have or can't have. And I prefer YOO-lee-us to JOO-lee-us. It sounds much more unique, I guess.

Not a bad name but I do prefer Julian.

Julius Marx was Groucho of the Marx Brothers.

Dr. Julius Hibbert is a character on the Simpsons.

This is my fiance's name, so I think it's wonderful, and that it has a much nicer sound to it then Julian.

This is one of my favorite masculine names ever.

Because they didn't have j's in Latin the Romans would have started this name with an I which is why it is pronounced yoo`lius. (Also as a side note, they didn't use u's either and instead used v. So this name would look like this: IVLIVS.)

Julius is also the name of the kind-hearted pick-pocket played by Laurence Olivier in the 1979 film "A little Romance", in it he helps two teenage lovers run away to Venice so they can kiss under the bridge of Sighs, and even when you find out that he's a fraud you forgive him because he had good intentions.

Although it is well known from Julius Caesar (after whom the month of July was named), I'm not a particular fan of this name. It otherwise makes me think of some wise old professor or historian somewhere in the United States (if nowhere else).

It was also the first name of Ethel Rosenberg's husband, who was executed with her for espionage in 1953.

One famous bearer is Slovak actor Július Satinský.

Famous bearer is restaurant Orange Julius.

Actress Lucy Lawless and producer/writer Robert G. Tapert have a son Julius Robert Tapert, born in New Zealand. [16 October 1999]

What a great name! I am very fond of it. I also like the name Julian. I think Julius is a nice alternative to Julian.

Of the names ending with "-us", this is one that I'd find easier to use. It doesn't sound nearly as pompous and out of place. Unfortunately, images of an Orange Julius are slowly creeping into my mind. Julius is much less tired than Julian, but it still has some cheerful quality.

Sigismund Freud had a brother named Julius.

Julius is the dad in "Everybody Hates Chris".

'Julius' is a very intelligent-sounding name, not as pompous as other "-us" names. It also reminds me of Julius Henry Marx.
Recommended.

There was a Roman centurion named Julius in the Bible. He saved the life of the apostle Paul when all the other Roman soldiers wanted to kill him. The story is told in Acts 27.

Love this name! We chose it for our first son. It feels dignified yet jubilant, and I think it perfectly suits an adult or child. I also like that it's familiar to everyone but hardly ever used anymore.

I like this name, but there aren't many good nicknames. I suppose you wouldn't want to call a boy Julie?

Really cool name.

I certainly would favor "Julius" over "Jayden" any day. Having said that... while I am positive popular thought would assume I enjoy this name, it is not a favorite. It does not necessarily belong on my "Hated List," it simply for not belong with my "Favorites." The flow seems off to me, for one. Second, I find it more visually pleasing (written), than pleasurable to the ear (spoken sound).

This was my great grandfather's name and I adore it. To me, the name Julius is so strong and masculine. Julian sounds too feminine ("gay" if you will).
