2 syllables for me, primarily because I've never known a Julia who said it the other way.

kmwills · April 2010

I say Jool-ee-ah, with 3 syllables.

I have really never thought about this. I know 2 Julia's and I pronounce them differently. Well, I guess they pronounce them jool-ya and joo-lee-a so I just repeat it that way. That is funny though.

Jool-ee-ah (3 syllables). The other way just sounds like someone saying the name too fast IMO.

This is how I always heard it. I was actually trying to figure out how you say it with two syllables. Still with this post I am having a hard time with a two syllable pronounciation.

Court0026 · April 2010

3 syllables.

scoutkate · April 2010

I say "Jool-ya."

Most people around here pronounce it as 2 syllables. I think the 3 syllable pronounciation is prettier.

ToBeMrsT · April 2010

Jool-ee-ah

lovemytwoboys · April 2010

Definitely 3 syllables, Jool-ee-ah

Sometimes I hate these kinds of posts (nothing against you, obviously), because I realize a name that I think is so pretty is pronounced differently by a third of the population. I've never heard it as jool-yah, and don't like it nearly as much that way.

I think that it depends on accents and where you live. because i grew up with 3 Julia's and they were all pronounced Jool-yah.

We're planning on naming a baby girl (if girl) Julia (3 syllables), so this is interesting for me! I have never, ever heard of the 2 syllables! Good to know that that pronunciation is out there!
