Final two! Mary or Julia?

[0percypig0]

Finally after weeks of mind changing and the results of my other thread, I'm down to Mary and Julia. Sister for Robert. Surname starts with B.

Mary Elizabeth

Julia Rose

But which one???

[MamaG]

[belgo]

Mary Elizabeth definitely.

I know plenty of Julia/Julie/Juliettes and no Marys (apart from my gran who was Mary Elizabeth)

[cece]

I think Mary as I really dislike Julia being shortened to Jules.

[franke]

Julia

[yellowcircle]

Mary.

[ThreeGuesses]

Julia is very pretty. Mary is quite dull IMHO

[bibbitybobbityhat]

Oh dear, I really like them both.

I think I am leaning slightly towards Mary Eklizabeth though.

Lovely names. I love Robert too!

[diddl]

Julia.

Mary is old fashioned imo.

[SE13Mummy]

How about Mary Julia? I prefer Mary but then I rather like the old-fashioned names and think of Julia as being a 1960's/70's name.

[Fayrazzled]

I prefer Mary. Julia is nice too, but I wouldn't go for Julia with a Robert because it brings "Julia Roberts" to mind. Not that it's a terrible association if you do like Julia.

[omaoma]

er.. mary was slang for your bojango when i was at school! so personally avoid that one like the plague

[5DollarShake]

Mary is timeless and pretty - and she'd be very unlikely to share the name with hoards of others.

Julia is fine but a bit meh.

[madly]

Mary is a fantastic name.

[Ondine]

Julia is much nicer imo. Mary a bit staid and dull, Maria is a nicer version.

[skidoodle]

Julia

[ChynaDoll2006]

Mary

[DinahRod]

Julia sounds more melodic but Mary is more classic.

On balance: Julia

[pointydog]

Julia

[Habbibu]

Julia. Mary a bit dull and worthy.

[JoeyBettany]

My sister is a Julia Mary.

[HelenDoula]

What about Elizabeth Mary ?

[Italiangreyhound]

Mary Elizabeth definitely but what do the name associations mean for you?

[bellissima]

Either! Both very nice.

[diddl]

Julia Elizabeth?

[GladioliBuckets]

Julia has a little more pizazz IMO, think Roman. But then Robert is v English sounding so maybe Mary goes better. Sorry, no help!
