Re: Julian, Julius, Jillian, Julie & Jill - unisex nicknames?
in reply to a message by Barbara
Jillian feels like a girl's name to me. As do Jill and Julie. Jules, though, feels unisex.
I don't think there's anything at all wrong with a boy or man choosing to call himself Julie or Jill if that's what he likes. I know a boy who occasionally calls himself Jackie, for example, and that's totally fine, because it's his idea. I would, however, be uncomfortable with someone else imposing a nickname like that on a boy.
