Help[Opinions] Re: Julia
in reply to a message by ChopSocky
I love Julia. It's a classic, timeless name. I had a great-aunt named Julia, who was born in 1900, but the name seems just as suitable for a baby now as it did then. I don't see it rising in popularity. I think it will stay right where it is. There will always be a section of the population that appreciates Julia, but the majority who go with the flow won't be attracted to it.

I think you may be right.
Whenever I mention this name to my friends/family, they say it's nice, but they clearly aren't crazy about it. I wonder why that is? It's a classic name, and classic names are making a comeback.

Maybe because it is SO timeless, it has no "feeling" left to it? A less popular name might summon up some kind of ambiance, like quaintness, rustic strength or spunk; encapsulate the time when it was popular somehow. But Julia has always just been there, for centuries.
I think it is beautiful too, and also see that reaction to it. A sort of absent-minded respect, but that's it.
