Julia has just about everything going for it -- ancient roman roots (Julius Caesar), Latin links with a nice meaning (youthful, soft-haired, beautiful), Shakespearean connections (The Two Gentlemen of Verona), a brief new Testament mention (in the masculine form of Julius) and connections to both saints and celebs. It’s been used as a given name since the eighteenth century, and is popular all over the world with tons of different variations. In the US, Julia’s been in or close to the top 100 for more than a century. It took a dip in the mid-twentieth century, but now is back and more popular than ever, peaking at number 27 in ’01. With a classic and simple but fashionable and sophisticated feeling, you really can’t go wrong with this name.

My daughter who is 9 is Julia Grace. My ex husband named her in honor of the song by the Beatles. I always liked the name and now I love it so I was okay with it. She doesn't know any other Julia's but even if she knew 100 Id still love her name!
by cutieleThis is my name too, and I love it. I have never met another Julia (although I see here it's a pretty popular name) and I love my nickname too! (Jules). The Beatles song by the same name is beautiful too : )
by Jules109The Beatles song of the same name is the perfect bedtime lullaby for baby : )
by kdinnienem22This is my name and I have always loved it. It's simple and feminine and can be pronounced in every language, but has never been too common. Thanks Mom and Dad!
