Wow -
Ashley to me is entirely without gender; I know two adults by the name of Ashley--and each represents each gender - one is in the US and one is not.
I "feel"
Julie to be feminine requisite through (my) birth demographic & name popularity.
I "feel"
Julian to be feminine, though I know convention brings this one among the guys, yet I can't validate that a guy can't spell
Julian as Juliann (Juliann /
Julianne) (or that a girl can't spell
Julianne as
Julian) - or that any spelling or pronunciation cannot match with any synonym among the larger aggregate of variables.
I "feel"
Julius to be universal yet since
Julian conventionally steers more toward masculine, I can't (casually) forbid a
Julius, a
Julian (of any spelling) of either gender not to be
Julie for short or (especially) for affection.
I "feel"
Julie to reference pretty, though immediate evidence suggests otherwise; are we able to possibly reconsider this - at least on paper?
This is the first I learn of Junius--so I rather like
June or
Juni for either gender.
Thank You for responding
