Oh. Hmm... I've never thought of Julia as a particularly snobby name. But my sister's first name is Julia so that could be why. Thanks!

I agree. Julia sounds perfectly normal to me. It isn't like, say, Alexis, which to me does say "bratty."

Alexis does sound bratty, in a sit in a La-Z-boy recliner and watch soap operas with mommy kind of way.
