Personal experiences with the name Julia: | Edit

A more sophisticated alternative to Julie, this name resounds with poise and elegance. Yet, it is certainly not so flowery and overdone as other top girl names in this generation.

This is my name and I've had a love/hate relationship with it. Thankfully now I love it and I love how timeless it is. I've met people in their 70's with my name, a handful of people around my age (20's) and lots of younger kids as well.
