I love the name Julia! I don't really care for Julie or Juliana.

It's my sister's name, so I'm biased, but I really think it's beautiful. I call her Juju as a nickname, and her full name is Julia Liselotte, which I find melodic and elegant. I've never cared much for Julie or Juliana, but there's nothing wrong with them. I prefer Juliana to Julie, as Julie seems boring. I plan to give my potential future daughter the middle name Julia, to honor my sister.

I like all three but I find it difficult to pair it.

I’m biased but I’m a fan! It’s a good name to have. Juliana is also lovely. Julie bores me.

I've never liked Julia or Julie, and Juliana is too long and complicated for me. The only Juli- name I'd use is Juliet, and then only as a mn. For a boy, Julian is a GP.

It’s a nice name but everyone I know and their uncle seems to be naming their daughter Julia/Julie/Giulia. Juliana’s more interesting at this point.

Julia is a classic that you just can't go wrong with. It has never been the #1 name, and there are other classics that are even more enduringly popular (Catherine / Katherine, Elizabeth, Anna, Margaret, etc.); but there are enough Julias in each generation that it never feels out of place.

Julie feels more dated to me, though it's by no means a bad name. Juliana is my personal favorite variant of this name family, though (my stock combo is Juliana Celeste).

I've met a million Julias, and I'm kind of done with the name.
