HelpRe: Julia or Juliet?
in reply to a message by tiramisu
Julia is dated now, but I think it will come back. It's objectively pretty.
Juliet is pretty but almost too pretty because you have to be attractive to pull it off. Any random person could be a "Julia" or "Julie", but only young and attractive people could be "Juliet". I'm only 30 and even I would be too frumpy to pull of Juliet. If that was my name I'd be stuck with introducing myself as Julie and hoping no one asks what it's short for.

Julia being dated is weird to me. I feel like it's completely timeless.
I don't think the name itself sounds "old" but I'd definitely be surprised to meet a very young Julia. (baby, kid, teen, or even 20-something)
Interesting. I'm 20 and Julia is quite common in my age group.
