Julian. It's so much more handsome and interesting.
Gosh, it is tricky! I find that Julian Elijah has the better flow, but I'm not sure at all how important that is.
I like both names, but they are long enough to attract nns, and I prefer Tim to Jules. So I think I'd forget about the mn flow and go for Timothy.
When I was a schoolgirl, our neighbour couldn't decide between Richard and Timothy for her son, and the lady doing birth registrations preferred Richard, so Richard it was. And until her dying day, his mother regretted not using Timothy. So the moral of the story, if there is one, is to go for what you really, secretly prefer, regardless of all other issues, including adivce.

Timothy is a great name. :)
Julian.
Julian! I haven't known any Julians in my life and the name suits all ages. OTOH, I've known lots of men/boys named Timothy, Timmy and Tim and it just doesn't wow me. I will admit that Timothy Elijah has the better flow. WDYT of Elijah Timothy? That sounds great, imo.

Timothy .
Timothy, most definitely. Julian is wimpy, and Jules is kind of doofy, not in a good way. Timothy has the friendly, brisk Tim to use.
double post.

I like both, but I'd go with Timothy. It's a little more interesting to me than Julian.
I don't like either, but if I had to choose, Julian.
