I'm sure there never was a 'Julius' as it were.  Hate my first name.  lol

Hate it? I think it's kinda cool. :)

I never used to be that fond of mine. But I've come to appreciate it since it's slightly uncommon today, and it's completely period. That, and when I run into another Ed, I can say "Two Eds are better than one!!" :)

LMAO yea, I've heard that one...not as much as you'd think.  I guess Orange Julius isn't that popular.  I happen to like both Edward and Charles for names...both were great kings.  The only Julius worth mentioning in antiquity was a power-hungry despot clothed plebe sentiment.
