I think Julius is plenty usable this day and age! I like the potential nn Jules. I've known several guys named Julius, mostly when I was in Miami. I like the name Julian more than Julius though. It keeps about the same sound, it has the same meaning, but it's more modern and more common (not common as in popular, but more common than Julius you know).

I like Julian very much too, but I find the 2 names give quite different vibes.

Agree. I really like Julian, but of the two, I think it feels more pompous. I like Julius for someone else, though. It reminds me of a smoothie company called Orange Julius. So just no combos with O names...

Different vibes? Like how? They're so similar to be I just consider them interchangable - I just personally like the "an" sound better to "us"

Well, to me Julius feels older and more no-nonsense, and the same time more sophisticated. Julian feels younger, more fashionable and a tad yuppie.

I think Julius is much more masculine than Julian. Probably because it has "an" in it, it's a "Victorian" name, and Julius Ceasar is a very manly character. I dislike Julian, but I love Julius.
