Help[Opinions] Re: Julie
in reply to a message by Amandine
I guess looking at the chart it should seem dated, but it's never seemed so to me. I do think it's kind of like Sophie, although admittedly in the 90s (knowing a millennial Julie) I was more familiar with Julie than I was with Sophie (I remember hearing Sophie for the 1st time in an animated 90s movie; the character was kind of silly and had a French accent). And I get a vibe from it that's similar to April (so, springy/cheerful? vintage in the US but maybe not dowdy).
Julie, Julia, Juliana are all about the same to me; it'd probably depend on the flow of the combo. Juliet seems elegant but too associated with Romeo & Juliet for me, and I guess because of that, the Juliette spelling looks weird. Julianne does seem dated, but I don't dislike it - it's better than Julienne which can seem foody.
1. Julie, Julia, Juliana
2. Juliet
3. Julianne
4. Juliette
Eta: I like Julissa, maybe more than Julianne. I've met a young one (brunette, my previous boss Minerva's granddaughter). Also fyi my cousin has a kid named Julia who is in elementary school; she's cute - um, a brunette, does martial arts and likes cooking, doesn't use a nickname although her mother calls her Juju sometimes. The Julie I knew as a kid was also brunette; she had sisters with other J names, was popular in school, was fun to be around and now I think she works at a university (as a counselor or maybe something to do with writing? idk exactly).
I dislike Julina. I guess it seems smushed because I expect Juliana.
