I wonder that myself, but I guess they like it for the same reasons they also seem to love Amelia, Lillian and Julia: because they are old-fashioned in a Victorian-dollhouse kind of way.

Julia is old fashioned? I always thought that was a common-ish name along the lines of like Hannah, Samantha, Allison, Sarah etc How strange to hear it called old fashioned lol
Well, it is common and always has been to one degree or another. But it is old-fashioned. You could picture a Victorian-dollhouse character named Julia, or for that matter, Hannah or Sarah, but not Allison and only a small chance of Samantha.
Hannah for sure, that was my paternal grandmother's name.
Julia is ok, though I don't like it much;I prefer Julie, which is quite common here. Sort of a sparkly name, possibly because of a childhood playmate of my daughter's, who was a spark and a half.She grew up to be a fashion model,in Germany. :-)
