Julia
What do you guys think of Julia? What would you pair it with? How do you feel about variants Julie and Juliana?

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. Julia Hope

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.

I too now sooo many Julia's. It's a perfectly fine name, but I know too many. I do love Juliana, but then I love most names ending in ana :)

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.Julia Daphne
Julia Delphine
Julia Maris
Julia Catherine
Julia Rose
Julia Rosalind
Julia Marguerite
Julia BlairJulie 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.
