My name is Juliana and I love it, but I prefer that my friends call me Julie. I just think it's more easier to say and write. None the less, I'm very grateful that my parents chose this name for me instead of some other common names.

I prefer Julie and Julia. Juliana is a bit too frilly and sounds slightly childish.
Amo meu nome,forte,com atitude, tem sua marca sem deixar de ser feminino,adoro meu apelido Ju,prefiro Juliana do que Julia.(Translation: I love my name, strong, with attitude, it has its mark without ceasing to be feminine, I love my nickname Ju, I prefer Juliana than Julia.)
Juliana is a beautiful name. Just splendid, really. What’s great about it is that not only is it regal, refined, and even a bit fresh, but also it can use many nicknames. I do prefer it to Julianna but it doesn’t make much of a difference to me.
My name is Juliana and I’m looking into the process of legally changing it to something else. I’ll be 30 next month and my whole life my name has been constantly misspelled and mispronounced. People call me Julianna, Julianne, Jillian, Joanna, Julian (because they think I’m a dude?). Also people will automatically shorten it to Julie or Julia (both names I hate) because they’re too lazy to say Juliana. I’ve tried going by Jules or Ana but for some reason those never stuck. It is a beautiful name when it is pronounced and spelled correctly and it is unique. I’m just sick of it constantly being butchered. Also a tip: pleaseeeee do not name your daughter this if her last name is also longer. My maiden name was a longer name and it was absolute hell in school with teachers and adults trying to say my name. Idk. Just my two cents from someone whose lived with the name for almost 30 years.
My final battle of the Juli- names used to come down to Julia and Juliet, and I'd vacillate between the two. I still enjoy both of those names, but my favorite now is Juliana. I can't even tell you exactly how I came to appreciate Juliana so much, when I used to think she was "too much" (because I was more familiar with the "Julianna" spelling, and now I don't like that second N). The gorgeous bombshell sneaked up on me.
My name is Juliana. In my opinion, I love the name itself. People say that the name suits my personality. When I have a baby girl I want to name her Juliana.
This is my name, but I prefer to be low-key and just Julie. I work with Spanish speaking people and they all have a different way of saying it. For example, Yulia, Lilliana, Julietta, etc and I love it, I don't correct them. The funniest misnomers I have are Sulieman and Hoolie (Pronounce Julie like Julio Iglesias).

My only links with Juliana are: Juliana Crane in 'The Man in the High Castle' and Queen Juliana of the Netherlands. I dislike the Ju- beginning and -ana that makes it dated and boring.
Juliana is one of my favorite girl names! I love the name Juliana. So feminine and elegant. This would definitely suit a young girl, a women, and an old lady. You can’t go wrong with the name Juliana. I also love the nicknames Julie and Julia.

Much better of a name than Jillian. Juliana has such an Italian touch to it with the -ana part that it has a more elegant and modern touch to it, on the other hand Jillian just sounds kind of ugly and even kind of trashy. Jill sounds fine, but it makes me think of Jack and Jill and a 40 year-old woman. Juliana isn’t the Italian name though, it’s Giuliana however even though I would rather use Juliana, Giuliana is still just as beautiful and would rather name my child Juliana or Giuliana, better than those -ayden names or giving girls names meaning “Son of” like Makenzie or Makenna, or Jackson, or any of those names trying to be “kre8tiv” like Jaxon and Zowie. Overall, a beautiful name for any girl and would be a great name for a child.
My name is Juliana, and it is pronounced "joo-lee-ah-na." Most people mispronounce it, but I like the other way to say it as well. I have had people say I am rather mature for my age, and I outrank many of my family in IQ. I did not know that my name is thought to be rather mature and intellectual, and I am proud to bear it. As for good nicknames, many of my friends call me "Jules" or "Jewels" (they differentiate in spelling) and some call me Ana (ah-na.) My family on the other hand call me Juli (e), while the younger ones call me "Ju-Ju."
I recently changed my name to Juliana. I'm a 25 year old woman so I think it fits to my age. It has such a gentle ring to it, so I imagine someone who's youthful, sincere and loving. To me it's not exactly a trendy name, but it's extremely elegant and I'd rather have an elegant name for future 60-year old me :-)
My name is Juliana and people always think it's spelled with two 'N's instead of one. I prefer it with one N, but if you're naming your kid this you may want to just go with two. People usually call me Juliana, but my close friends sometimes call me Julez. I started spelling it with the Z when I was younger for some reason...
I prefer the pronunciation Julie-Anne-Ah. Ever since I heard it in "Quest for Camelot" I have always loved the name. It is more mature than Julia and Julie which are overused and when I hear Julie or Julia the first thing that pops into my head is: "that's all?". I think Juliana completes the name.
I know a little girl named Juliana, and I think it's a sweet name. There could be some trouble with the pronunciation of it though, I've heard many people saying juli-anna, but I think it sounds much better juli-ah-na.
My name is Juliana, and I pronounce it "Joo-lee-ANNE-ah" intead of "Joo-lee-ah-na". Everyone always comes up to me and tells me what a gorgeous name I have.

I love this name. It's much prettier than Julie or Julia, and fits all ages of a woman. Not like Nicole or Samantha, it's great.
This is a lovely name for a girl! Great alternative to the overused Julia and Julie.

I think that it sounds fine with either pronunciation. I have only known two "Juliana"s in my life, and they are both beautiful, intelligent, kind-hearted girls. I'm probably going to give this name to a daughter if I have one.

A very pretty name for a girl, a great alternative to Julia.

I like the name Ana. Where I live it is not one of the most frequent names. Most people, in fact, don't know that there's a saint and a day for this very name. The date is 3rd January.
