Re: Jules, Juilus and Julian
I love Julius, and I think it's charming and loaded with character. I used to babysit a Julius when I was in high school, but he's the only one I've ever met. It really should be more popular, and I'm not sure why it isn't. Maybe it's just that -s ending names generally aren't as popular these days as those ending in -n. Jules doesn't appeal to me, and it has been a frequent nickname for just about every Julie, Julia, and Juliana I've known. Maybe that holds it back, or maybe it makes people think of the "family jewels," and that holds it back. I don't know, but its lack of popularity doesn't surprise me the way Julius's does.
