Oh, I love both of these names! I vote for Katrina. It's kind of underused ... probably due to the hurricane.

Julianna. I survived Hurricane Katrina and cringe at the name (even of grown adults who had it pre-hurricane).

A lot of Juliannas go by Jules, though. Jules is equally as bad, if not worse, than Kat.


Firmly disagree. Kat is cool. Jules wants to be cool but isn't.


Actually, neither nickname is cool.

I hate Jules. It sounds like a teenager trying to come off as cool by ditching her legal name. I don’t know where this association comes from because I don’t feel this way about any other nickname.

My 8-year-old daughter has a classmate named Julianna who exclusively goes by Jules. This little girl is popular and as mean as can be. I hear stories every single day about Jules. They’re not good stories either.

OP, go with Katrina!

Katrina might get Hurricane Katrina jokes anytime she is upset or mad.

I like both names. If it were me, I'd go with Julia or Catriona (Jules or Cat) but that's just my personal preference and I like your versions as well.

Anne, Ciara (keer-ah), Jana, Meredith, Simone were other options we considered for the first name, but we like Julianna and Katrina more.

The middle name will either be Andrea (family name), Camille, or Simone. We haven’t decided yet. Our last name is 2 syllables and ends in ey.


NP. Due to the first name being so many syllable, make the middle name Camille or Simone. Andrea is too long.


I like both but Andrea doesn’t work well with either. And I dislike Simone. And I dislike Katrina Camille.

Both names are really nice. I slightly prefer Katrina.
