[Opinions] Re: interesting name from the obituaries ...
Wow, her parents were ahead of the trends by a lot. Jennifer wasn’t popular at all 80 years ago and Julysia definitely sounds like a “millennial name” to me. It’s rare to see people pre-dating trends by so much. I’m definitely not a *fan* of the name, though. It’s trying too hard to be unique and doesn’t really work. Julie on its own is a better name, imho.*previously posted as summitseeker*

she was born in England ...And moved to the US as a young adult, so I presume her sisters were born there as well, they're listed as survivors and still live there. I understand Jennifer was popular there a long time before it was popular here.She had another sister, listed as preceding her in death. That one's name was Maureen.

Yup, it was in the top 100 in the 1930s here, and so were all her sisters' names. But there have only been a tiny handful of Julysias ever.

I find it really interesting how so many names are popular in the UK before they are here... and vice versa, but man, England was really of us on quite a few currently popular names.
