Julia or Juliana?
Which name do you prefer of the two, and why? How do you pronounce Juliana? I've been saying it joo-lee-AH-na. Can't decide which I like more. On one hand, I love how classical and timeless Julia is, but Juliana is a little rarer and a little more elaborate, which I think I like. Thoughts?
Feel free to throw out combos, if you like. I'm really into Julia Gwendolen at the moment.

I pronounce it like you do, joo-lee-AH-na. But I prefer Julia by far. I think Julia is classic and timeless, always in fashion. The elaboration of Juliana is unnecessary and overly-frilly for me.
What about Juliet and Julie? They are usually considered along with Julia and Juliana. Personally, I love Juliet and I constantly go back and forth on which I like more, Julia or Juliet. Julie, on the other hand, I don't really care for because it seems slightly dated.

I prefer Julia because it's less frilly. I usually pronounce Juliana like Julie+Anna, making it a rare exception to my usual "Ana= AH-na" approach.
Julia Gwendolen is so pretty, but I'd prefer Julia Gwen or Julia Gwyneth just to mix up the syllables some.
