JuliaVictoria has some bad associations with me, and that -ia ending isn't doing much for me.

That's a tough one! They're both beautiful names. I appreciate Julia's soft femininity and Victoria's strength and sophistication. Despite sounding softer, I wouldn't call Julia a weak name at all though. Since there's already a Julia in the family, I'd go with Victoria "Tori." I know more people named Julia and Julie than people named Victoria, so it would make more sense to use a name that fewer people I know have. I also think that Victoria fits in with the other names I like a bit better than Julia does, but I've always found Julia to be very pretty.

VictoriaArgh, I struggle to choose because I really like both of them and would happily use either. Victoria wins, but only because my bf's Victoria and great-granny was Victoire. Julia is a fantastic name.

VictoriaI like Julia a lot but adore Victoria. I love the way it looks, the way it sounds and its positive meaning. I love everything about it. Then again, it's my dd's name. ;-)

VictoriaI like the sound, the meaning, and the history. Julia is just more boring IMO.

JuliaVictoria has that harsh "vic" sound in it. Plus, as much as I try to sublimate it, the image of Queen Victoria rankles this granddaughter of the Irish Republican Brotherhood. The "j" sound of Julia is so pleasing to my ears.

Ah, think of the Roman goddess of victory instead just as I do. ;-) That and its meaning strongly influenced the naming of my second dd.

Roman goddesses of victory are not to be trifled withYes. I go on and on to others about how one association shouldn't be held against the innocent name itself. And I use Victoria all the time in combo suggestions. I even use it myself in a few favorite combos. (Wren Victoria, Victoria Alix) And now you've reminded me of the lovely Victoria Brooke (who goes by Brooke) as an inspiration! I shall not deviate from the path of light and reason again. :-)Besides, I've recently fallen in LOVE with the names Victoire and Victorine.It's just that when asked to choose between Victoria and Julia, I fell back on the sublimated criterea to justify my choice. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

LOL, you always make me smile, Ann.BTW, Brooke refused to take the name Victoire in beginning French class. Instead, she chose Renee. RENEE! I would have none of that so I call her Victoire whenever I can. ;-)

Victoire is soooo much more interesting than Renee. I'm with you.Here's a naughty thought. How about calling her Reine instead of Renee? Years of therapy you say? Ah well, if you don't have the stomach for this parenting thing I don't know why you bothered in the first place. :-)

I love both - but Julia seems a little bit fresher than Victoria at the moment.
Victoria Juliet might be a compromise

JuliaVictoria is beautiful but I like all the parts of Julia - full and nicknames, while Victoria's short forms don't interest me as much.

I strongly prefer Julia, which I consider warmer and less prissy than Victoria.

Victoria. Obviously. Because that's what I named my daughter. I do like Julia, also, yet it is a name that I never considered. I prefer Victoria because it's somewhat more regal and elegant than Julia, I like its association with the queen, and heck, I just think it's more beautiful. And it's longer than Julia, and I tend to like long girls' names.
