Any thoughts good or bad on these names? Does the name make you think of anyone (famous or not)? Which do you like better?

Julian i like a LOT. i went to school with a Julian..was a great person. you don't hear that name that often anymore...everyone is trying so hard to be "different" that everyone sounds the same. *irony!*
Alexander is great for a middle name. reminds me, of course, of Alexander the Great. very powerful name.

I love both names but I like Alexander better. For me, I would use Julian as a middle name and not a first. That's only because I would hate for the boy to be called Julia.
Alexander reminds me of Alexander the Great, and Julian reminds me of the actor Julian Sands.

I like both names. I have a cousin named Julian, he's 2 1/2 I think. I went to school with an Alexander, but he went by Alex.
Both names aren't too common. I've seen a lot of people on here asking about "Xander". But not many asking about Julian or Alex.

Julian reminds me of the little twin boys who played Julian in the movie Big Daddy. I love that movie, and those twins are adorable...Just what comes to mind when i hear Julian, that movie. As for the name itself, i prefer Alexander to Julian, but Alexander seems more common. Alexander has good potential for nicknames and such though, Alex, Xander....both nice nicknames. Alexander reminds me of alexander the great, so a good strong boys name. Good luck!

I really love the name Julian because I think of the song Hey Jude which was wrote by Paul McCartney for John Lennon's son Julian Lennon. LOVE That name. I love the Beatles but my husband already told me No because he has a name picked already.

Julian reminds me of the little boy from Big Daddy plus I don't really like that name. I like the name Alexander cause you can always shorten it and call him Alex.
