[Opinions] Julia
Do you pronounce it Jul-ee-ah or Jul-ya?

It's my name...(m)
And I say it as three syllables. Two annoys me.

Just about everyone I know pronounces my name jul-ya. I used to correct people when they pronounced it ju-lee-ah, but it became incredibly tiring! I much prefer the "jewel" sound over "joo".

Ju-lee-ah.
Just a dream, just an ordinary dream...
as I wake in bed...
and the boy, that boy, that ordinary boy
or was it all in my head?
Did he ask if I would come along?
It all seemed so real.
But as I looked to the door
I saw that boy looking there with a deal.

Jul-ya, because in the Midwest, we believe in eliding or syllables into mush. Therefore, "Do you understand?" turns into "Dyunderstand?" and Julia is "JOOL-yuh." ;)

I need its noises in my ears.
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.
