What about the name Julius for a boy? My husband and I have a little boy named Gabriel Zander (f and m names). Husband likes Julius, and he also likes Maximus...I'm not fond of either. What do you think?

I like Julian a lot.

Julius makes me think of Orange Julius and that kid's book about the gorilla named Julius.

Maximus - gluteus maximus is all I can think, so no.

AJ, enjoying life with C.

I love Julius. I baby-sat a Julius for years, so the name always makes me smile. He was the smartest thing, and so cute, with curly brown hair, hazel eyes, and a dimple in his chin. I think it's an awesome underused name, with a great nn (Jules). It's head and shoulders above Maximus, imo.

If you can't warm up to Julius, I echo the previous posters in saying that Julian might be a good compromise name.

Well, if you're not fond of either- why are you asking? You both need to love the name.

I like Julius, and Julian, but it doesn't matter what we think if YOU don't like it.

sorry, I'm not big on either name but would prefer Julius. I much prefer Julian to it though, maybe he'd go for that? HTH!
