Re: Julia
I think that's a huge stretch, but I don't know the connotation of "ioulos" in Greek. Making those inferences for Charlotte et al. makes a lot more sense.

I find considering Charlotte and Andrea as meaning "woman" or "female" a stretch as well (after all Andrea comes from the Greek "andros" which means man), they're all part of those prettified etymologies for which each name must have a nice meaning and its own meaning, god forbid it's just a form of another name.
