I want to like this spelling of it-- I really do-- but I prefer the Juliana spelling.

The name itself is really pretty though and has lots of great NN options.

DD's little cousin is Giuliana. Our family is Italian and she has an Italian last name, so the spelling doesn't seem like too big of an issue.

I think the spelling thing depends a bit on where you live. If you live in a place with a large population of Italians (NY/NJ/CT/RI/MA), I'd say it shouldn't be a problem. Giuliana is a top-150 name in those states. If you live elsewhere, you might find it annoying to deal with the spelling issues. But if you prefer this spelling to others, I think it's fine.

I completely agree!  I want to like it.  I know it's the Italian spelling.  I get it.  But I can't help it - I like the Juliana spelling better.

Giuliana also gives that me Giuliana Rancic association... ::shudder::

I didn't think about her butttt
Which necessarily wouldn't be a bad thing.. 3 rounds of ivf, breast cancer and she's still grounded. Strong woman right there.
I'm not too crazy about the 'j' spelling....

I prefer Giuliana, but I not matter how many I know IRL, I still think of Giuliana Rancic.

I love this name with this spelling. This is our top girls name. We have a very Italian last name so it works. I say go for it.
