Would someone please explain what "carrotstick-y" means?

Okay.
When you cut up vegetables into little matchsticks of sorts, it is called 'julienne'. Hence, carrot sticks.

The carrot-sticky description is kind of odd, imo. To julienne is to CUT something in fine pieces, like carrot sticks or other vegetables. It's not relegated to just carrot sticks and a "julienne" is not a carrot stick. Just FYI. :b

Like Chrisell said, julienne is also a noun. So I was using it in the right context. And even if it's not restricted to simply carrots, most people knew what I meant, did they not? And the ones that didn't, didn't know what the word julienne meant anyways, so it wouldn't have mattered how I described it.

Nope . . .
"Julienne" is both a noun and a verb. The verb, as you say, is the act of cutting things into matchsticks; but the noun can be applied to anything that has been julienned. Hence, Potatoes Julienne, Carrots Julienne, Celery Julienne, etc etc.

Not usable. Too much a carrot-stick name.

Usable. On paper it's all about carrots. But I'd feel slightly guilty that I might be neurotic, if it continued to bother me after I made Julienne's acquaintance. :ahem: I hope it wouldn't =P I don't think it should. I guess it might.

I'm on the fence. I like Julienne and really want it to be usable but I fear it probably is too carrot sticky.

Those are my exact thoughts. Hence posting for more opinions. =) Thanks.

Too carrotstick-y for me sorry . . .
Nice word lol. Yes, I definitely think of a platter of sticks of carrot and celery, with a nice french onion dip in the middle.
It's a pity, as Julienne is such a pretty name. What about Julie-Anne or Julianne instead?

I'm liking all Julie & Julia related names lately. (Except for those two original names)
I really like Juliana, Julianne, and Juliet(te) but it seems like everyone and their dog has been naming their kid those lately. Hm.
Don't you hate when something 'steals' a nice name? Sigh.
