I don't know how or why but I find the name Giulia a thousand times prettier than Julia.

My name is Giulia and I love it so much! It's simple yet beautiful, cute, girly, sweet, fresh, refined, and elegant - all at the same time.
I also like its meaning and its significance. It's originated from Latin and means "dedicated to Jupiter (Zeus)", but it can also be the Italian feminine variation of the Roman name Julius, which means "youthful" or "downy-bearded"; I like all meanings personally. Also, the Italian title of "Romeo and Juliet" is "Romeo e Giulietta (a nickname of the name Giulia)", so as a hopeless romantic I like having such a romantic name. There were also many historical figures named Giulia, including Giulia de' Medici, Giulia Farnese (Giulia la bella), and Giulia Novelli. It also has religious significance; the most famous saint with this name is Saint Giulia of Corsica (my patron saint).
In Italy, this name is very common (in the year that I was born, it was the most popular name for girls); at school, if I wasn't the only Giulia in my class, they had to distinguish us by our surnames. So when I came to the States from Italy a few years ago, I was surprised (and glad) to find out that I was the only Giulia; it was quite amazing how the same name can be very common in one country but unique in another. I have never been teased about my name and everyone can pronounce it correctly (it's pronounced "Julia" with an Italian accent, although everyone else says it without the Italian accent). They do misspell it as "Julia" all the time though, so I've gotten used to correcting people.
I LOVE my beautiful name! If anyone is considering naming their daughter Giulia, I highly recommend it (especially if you're Italian or have Italian heritage); she will be very grateful and proud of her name!

Giulia is one of the most common female names in Italy and has been for at least 30 years. There were three girls named Giulia in my class in high school. Once I also knew a German girl (with no Italian ancestry) named Giulia and this name is quite common in France, Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands too.

I'm Italian and this name is really common in Italy; it was the most common girl name from 2003 (when I was born)~2009. But I can see why it's so common; it's traditional, elegant, sweet, melodious, romantic and overall beautiful. It's definitely one of my favorite girl names.
In other parts of the world, it is common in some of the other European countries (very European name, I guess); outside of Europe, it is the most common in Brazil (probably due to Italian immigration).

I liked this at first, but now that I think about it, I'm not a big fan. Julia is beautiful and timeless, and I understand that this is the Italian form (although I thought Julia was Italian anyways..?) but it looks like its pronounced gwee-oo-lia.
