What does the name Julian make you think of, what overall vibe does it present, etc.?

To me upper class, wealthy, effeminate, for no good reason.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 07/06/2026 05:31

The Famous Five.
Nice but a bit wet.

PersephoneParlormaid · 07/06/2026 05:33

King Julien from Madagascar

Duckiewasthefirstniceguy · 07/06/2026 05:39

Famous Five. Posh child telling off obedient working class background characters.

Assange.

It’s a very blond name in my head, for some reason.

TallSturdyGirls · 07/06/2026 05:41

Posh and wet.

BeneficialOrange · 07/06/2026 05:45

Famous five, upper class, bit pathetic.

Which is ridiculous, because the only one I've known personally was a violent gangster who went on to be done for murder.

Spottyvases · 07/06/2026 05:47

Definitely blond with floppy hair. Poncey

SowhatWilliam · 07/06/2026 05:47

I use to be in love with a boy called Julian when I was 13, this was back in the 80s. He was far from posh or wet 😄

SparklyGlitterballs · 07/06/2026 05:49

Yeah, a bit upper class, posh. A bit effeminate. The two that come immediately to mind are Assange and Clary.

TheMillionthBeautyAddict · 07/06/2026 05:49

King Julien. Julian Clary.

JuliettaCaeser · 07/06/2026 05:53

I think gay. Maybe because of Julian clary?

Clickrodio · 07/06/2026 05:54

Not a nice person but I know a Julian in real life and I don’t like him.

menopausequeen · 07/06/2026 06:14

Not good ones

GTTSR · 07/06/2026 06:19

Julian Fawcett from Ghosts - a posh Tory MP who died in a scandal and doomed to spend all of eternity as a trouserless poltergeist. He’s my favourite character 😂

HoraceCope · 07/06/2026 06:38

agree, posh, blonde and wet
although i do know two and one isnt posh or wet and the other one is not wet either. but they are both blonde!

Sally2791 · 07/06/2026 06:41

Famous five

Conchiglie · 07/06/2026 06:51

To me Julian sounds like a mature, sensible kind of boy. I like it.

Amiacoolorwarmcolour · 07/06/2026 06:53

Posh and very arty.
Tall with floppy hair.

King Julien from Madagascar

This!

Thatcannotberight · 07/06/2026 07:37

I just think of Julian Cope from Teardrop Explodes. He's quite interesting.

TheyGrewUp · 07/06/2026 07:44

It was of my era. I knew lots of Julians growing up and at work. They were, without exception, very nice, hardworking types. To be fair all middle class. I think it's a great name and due a comeback. Their friends were: Jeremy, Tim, John, Simon, Phil, etc.

OnlyMabelInTheBuilding · 07/06/2026 07:48

Posh and effeminate.

NinetyNineRedBalloonsGoByAgain · 07/06/2026 08:27

A twat

Silverbirchleaf · 07/06/2026 08:28

Posh and blond also.

A858 · 07/06/2026 08:32

Tall, dark, confident, handsome, but that’s because I think of the actor Julian McMahon
