I like Julian very much too, but I find the 2 names give quite different vibes.

Agree. I really like Julian, but of the two, I think it feels more pompous. I like Julius for someone else, though. It reminds me of a smoothie company called Orange Julius. So just no combos with O names...

Different vibes? Like how? They're so similar to be I just consider them interchangable - I just personally like the "an" sound better to "us"

Well, to me Julius feels older and more no-nonsense, and the same time more sophisticated. Julian feels younger, more fashionable and a tad yuppie.

I think Julius is much more masculine than Julian. Probably because it has "an" in it, it's a "Victorian" name, and Julius Ceasar is a very manly character. I dislike Julian, but I love Julius.
