That’s where I picked up my little guilty obsession :P although I felt almost vindicated when I discovered Julian, Christian and other similar names were considered unisex once.

(I’m pretty sure it was based on a book.) I guess dystopian sci fi that doesn’t fare terribly well at the box office isn’t enough to say “Oh, yes, of course, Julian for a girl” – but she was an appealing character.

Jolyon is much nicer although a bit ‘posh’. Still, I’d consider it for a middle.

I actually dislike it a lot, to me honest. Loads better than Julius. For some utterly bizarre reason, the Spanish pronunciation reminds me of Horton Hears A Who. Now, that is biazrre
However, I can understand why others like it.
