Re: Fiona and Julia
in reply to a message by Sofia
I find them both quite uncommon, especially Fiona, and I don't find them dated at all. I especially like the pronunciation of Julia as "Yulia"; it's refreshing.
I hear, among others:
Julia Renee
Julia Elizabeth
Julia Christine
Julia Nolwenn
Julia Marie
Julia Catherine
Julia Susanna
Julia Leonora
Julia Grace
Julia Rose
Julia Alexandra
Julia Nicole
Julia Emmaline (EM-a-lien)
Fiona Juliette
Fiona Elizabeth
Fiona Bronwen
Fiona Guinevere
Fiona Marie
Fiona Leonore
Fiona Colette
Fiona Grace
Fiona Shoshana
Fiona Brigid
Fiona Nell
