HelpRe: Malcolm, Thekla and Thisbe
in reply to a message by Serafina Starstrider
I wish I did like it. It's the name of a favorite character in the Ender series, a series we both love. It's also the name of a saint I love. Unfortunately the Julian I knew was a snotty, prissy brat and I can't shake that connection. It's to bad, it's a good name.

I don't have any friends or know any Julian's well enough to have met one who soured the name for me. I always think of Julian Lennon and the character Julian from Star Trek Deep Space Nine. The name Julian also reminds me a little bit of Julius Caesar.
It's unfortunate that one bad Julian ruined the name for you. Unfortunately even positive associations sometimes aren't enough to change how we feel about some names.

Julian from DS9 - he didn't do much for the name. I love the show and love the character however he was a prissy, pretty know-it-all.

Yeah I know but I guess I've always been a sucker for the intelligent, know it all, fairly arrogant sort of guys as long as they are also nice, kind, and sweet as well. I've always kind of liked the name Julian but last year we rewatched all of DS9 and I hadn't seen any of them since I was in middle school. I realized when watching the show how much I love the name Julian because they say it a lot. I kind of doubt that I'll ever use it because it happens to be fairly popular, Gavin is also too popular. I'm actually surprised that Malcolm isn't in the top 100 currently because it seems like a name that should be popular.

Since this is off topic I won't say more than this on the subject. I think DS9 is my favorite Star Trek series, I mean I love Next Generation and Voyager but I love all of the DS9 characters and they have consistently good episodes and very intriguing subject matter and an in-depth look into three very interesting alien cultures. I barely remembered anything about DS9 before rewatching it and I hadn't watched that much of it when I was a kid but my partner said it was great so we started watching it last year and I loved it.
I also like the Original Series and Enterprise was just okay from what I've seen though I have still not seen all of Enterprise. My favorites are definitely DS9, NG, and Voyager.
