Julia...
I am currently going through a 'Julia' phase. I really want to use this name. The only thing is that my cousin's name is Julia. Would it be weird to have two Julia's that closely related?
So, what do you think of this name and do you have any mn suggestions?

I think naming someone the same as a close relative is only weird when it was done fairly recently (as in someone has a baby and a few months later someone names their baby the same) and/or you aren't very close to the person as it can make things very uneasy (this happened in my family, very awkward). I think it would be a nice way to connect with your cousin, actually, though you could use Julianna with nn Julia - both are nice names, though I prefer Julianna ;)
Julia Keshet
Julia Olivine
Julianna Tzeitel is a favorite combo of mine :)

No, but you could use Julianna or Juliet.
As it's my name I guess I'm kinda biased but I have to say I love the name! I've recieved quite a few compliments on it over the years and don't find it to be over used (not in England anyway!).
My name's Julia Alisha (Alisha after my late Aunty) but other combos I've heard include:
Julia Helen
Julia Rose
Julia Christine
Julia Elizabeth

I love the name Julia, too, but it is becoming so common. I also have a cousin named Julia and had a friend with the same name.
I don't think it would be weird having two people in the same family with the same name. I have two cousins named Rachel and it never seems to bother anyone.

I don't hate Julia, but it's not one of my favourites. Just nms... However coming from someone named Jaimeson (nn Jaime) who has three first cousins (and one of those cousin's kids) named James, I say if you like the name, use it.
some combos I like:
Julia Grace
Julia Isobel
Julia Marguerite
Julia Michelle
Julia Brooke
Julia Brianne
Julia Paisley
Julia Marinda

It depends on your family, I guess. In my family, a cousin isn't necessarily all that close--I see most of them at least twice a year, but I don't spend time with them outside family gatherings. So if I liked any of their names (and I don't, not enough to want to use), I wouldn't feel all that awkward about using them. Besides, none of them are bad people (well, none of them are terrible), so I wouldn't mind if the fam thought I named the kid after them. ;) You might spend a lot of time with your cousins, though, or there might be a sort of unspoken rule about repeating names. I don't know; yours isn't a situation I can judge, especially not over the internet, with no idea of what your family's like.
I think Julia is a lovely name. It used to be one of my favourites--and Julia Prudence was my favourite combo/double name (I was attached to Julia-Prudence, too, you see). Others I've been fond of have included Julia Snowdrop, Julia Snowbird, Julia Song, and Julia Rae. You might like Julia Margaret, Julia Charlotte, Julia Violet, Julia Charis, or Audrey Julia.
