Julia has grown on me so much! It helps that a friend of mine has a little girl about my DD's age called
Julia. And another parents at my kids school is pregnant with another little
Julia.
I definitely do not think it is dated, it's really lovely. It is a timeless name that ages well.
Isabel and
Sofia seem to fit very well, though I prefer
Julia atm because I've just been over exposed to
Sofia as of late.
