Hi. Has anyone heard the name "Julie" on someone under say 20 yrs. of age? I've heard Julia and Juliana. I actually like Julie because I think it sounds friendly. However, I think it sounds dated too - it was popular in the 70s I know. Thanks.

I know Juliennes, but they always end up as Julias...so, no Julies!

The popularity of the name Julie seems to be on the downside. The social security website lists the popularity of every name in ranking. Julie is shown as follows:

106However, if you like the name Julie- go for it. At least when she goes to school and they call out her name, 5 other "Julies" won't turn around. You could go with the more popular Julia, that ranked 31st in 2006 or the less popular Juliana (194th) or Julissa (225th).

I know a few under 20, but they are all teenagers. When I first read your post I was thinking that it may be a bit dated, but after repeating it a few times and thinking on it, it's kind of cute!

There was one girl in the daycare I use to work at named Julie. She was about 3 then, so she's about 5 now. I actually think her given name was Juliana, but she went by Julie or Jules. The only other people I know named Julie are all around my age, so like 20-30 years old. It's a pretty name though, and I agree with the other person, she won't be the 5th or 6th Julie in her class.

some of the Julia's under 20 that I know of go by the nn Julie, but none that I know of that Julie is the actual name


I knew way too many ancient Julia's when I was a child, so that name is one I'd never consider in a million years, it's just flat out old-fashioned to me - I do like Julie much much better, even though yes it was kinda dated to the 50s-70s.

I don't know any Julies under 20 but I do know a few who were born in the 60s and 70s.
