HelpRe: Juliet - with query
in reply to a message by Barbra
It's not something I would do, but Julie sounds slightly more masculine to me than Ashley, and I have met a male Ashley.
And I like the idea of Juni or possibly June as a NN for Junius.
Whether it's wrong or not, would require me to be making a moral judgement based on gender ambiguity, which is something I don't personally do.

Wow - Ashley to me is entirely without gender; I know two adults by the name of Ashley--and each represents each gender - one is in the US and one is not.
I "feel" Julie to be feminine requisite through (my) birth demographic & name popularity.
I "feel" Julian to be feminine, though I know convention brings this one among the guys, yet I can't validate that a guy can't spell Julian as Juliann (Juliann / Julianne) (or that a girl can't spell Julianne as Julian) - or that any spelling or pronunciation cannot match with any synonym among the larger aggregate of variables.
I "feel" Julius to be universal yet since Julian conventionally steers more toward masculine, I can't (casually) forbid a Julius, a Julian (of any spelling) of either gender not to be Julie for short or (especially) for affection.
I "feel" Julie to reference pretty, though immediate evidence suggests otherwise; are we able to possibly reconsider this - at least on paper?
This is the first I learn of Junius--so I rather like June or Juni for either gender.
Thank You for responding

The lady Ashley (that) I know is a professional (classical) musician - but she is a personal friend - yet she is a bit younger than I am; I didn't look to see that Ashley's US demographic has shifted from male to female.
We are real personal friends - somewhat lifelong; but I would not inundate her--nor she--me, with queries that we (should) hang out regularly.
Another Ashley is a London colleague.
