I think you may be right.
Whenever I mention this name to my friends/family, they say it's nice, but they clearly aren't crazy about it. I wonder why that is? It's a classic name, and classic names are making a comeback.

Maybe because it is SO timeless, it has no "feeling" left to it? A less popular name might summon up some kind of ambiance, like quaintness, rustic strength or spunk; encapsulate the time when it was popular somehow. But Julia has always just been there, for centuries. I think it is beautiful too, and also see that reaction to it. A sort of absent-minded respect, but that's it.
