My husband and I have a disagreement. Well, actually, when it comes to baby names, it doesn't seem that we can agree on anyting. Anyway...I think that Julian is a boy's name. My husband says he thinks it sounds like a girl name. What do you think? Does it sound girlie?
If it matters, I like Julian Beckett.

It is a boy name, no question about that.
And even though I *LOVE* it, I can see your husband's point.
Julian does have a musical ring to it that may come across as feminine -- it lacks the "harsh" sound or bad boy attribute that usually make people consider a name masculine.
We also have to consider that the sound is almost precisely identical as "Julienne", which is a girl name and the epitome of feminine.
So that may be why!
PS. I myself love Julian Ezra.

Julian is a boys name...however Juliann(e) with emphasis on the ANN is a girls name that I adore!
I like both but I like Juliann just a little bit more so I would never be able to use Julian.
If you like Julian and the hubby doesnt approve. What about Jude?

My boyfriend and I had the same argument. Julian is easily my favorite boys name ever! My boyfriend vetoed it saying that it sounds feminine. I love it's soft, romantic feel... my boyfriend does not.
Julian Beckett is very handsome!

It's definitely a boys name. Juliann(e) would be a girls name, but they're said differently
Julian Beckett is very handsome!
Maybe you could talk to him about it being a middle name?

Definitely a boy name, though I see how he could think it's girly because of Julianne. It's kind of like Adrian and Adrienne. I wouldn't worry too much about it, though. I don't think it will be much of a problem because on paper it is definitely male. I'd worry more if you liked Ryan, Mason, or Noah, which are quickly heading towards unisex. Anyway, Julian Beckett is wonderful, it definitely gets two thumbs up from me

I think that Julian is definitely a boys name.
Julian Beckett is very handsome btw.
I wouldn't use Julian on a girl, instead Juliette/Juliet, Julia or Julie are cute variations on a girl.

Funny that you say this, Jude was at the top of our boy name list forever! I started to get tired of it because I talked about it so much, but now I'm thinking about it again. We love J names because my husbands name starts with 'J'.
Thanks for all the feeback everyone! Glad you like Julian Beckett!

Well I think it could be both but it sounds like more of a girl's name instead of a guy's name.
