Julius and Julian
Can anyone think of masculine nicknames for either Julius or Julian? I love them both, but I wouldn't be able to stand any shortening into Julie or Jules.

I love Julian, and I wouldn't use a NN at all!

Man is a depth still greater than the people.

Juju is my preferred short form. Ju is too short and sound-alike to Jew, but Juju sounds like a proper nickname to me.I like Jules, too, though. Seems masculine enough to me. :) Hmmm...Linny for Julian, perhaps? I love Linny as a nickname in general. And Lee for either? Array

Ian could be a nickname for Julian. Other than that, I can't think of any. I like Jules on a boy, though Julie is 100% girl.~Erin Lee, wife of Matthew James, mama to Sarah Patrice (11/29/04) and Dos (due sometime in late February or early March)~

Jude. "Hey Jude" was written for John Lennon's song whose name was Julian. I think Julius is close enough to where Jude could work too.

You could call him Liam, I know it's not quite the same, but my husband's name is Killian (similiar sounding to Julian) and we call him Liam a lot of the time. Just a suggestion.Good luck!

Julius was my uncle's name. We called him Jules, Lius, and Lee, however the technical spelling of that last one should probably be Li.
