Julie

nome proprio

1. 1

   A female given name from French Julie, popular in the latter half of the 20th century, equivalent to English Julia.

   The first-born Child had every dawning Grace / And promis'd Beauty in her form and face. / "We'll call her Julie if you please, my dear," / The Mother cry'd, "I doat on Julie Vere." / "What! no Remembrance of her Aunt! for Shame! / You doat indeed! be Barbara her name!"

   "I loathe the name of Julia. Julie, in the French way, is quite pretty, but Julia! - " "Call her Cousin Julie then; I've no doubt she'll prefer it. She's nothing if not progressive, I believe."

   They were called Jim & Julie, professionally. It seemed such a waste to deal in fantasy, in illusion and pretend, and not christen one's endeavor more suggestively. Kate wondered if their real names were Letitia and Sylvester, or Cleopatra and Mandrake; perhaps they'd gone undercover with white-bread names in quest of posh children's parties and Yankee suitability.

   But Republicans and Porter's Democratic primary opponents have seized on an interview from last month that widely surfaced the week of Oct. 6 in which she reprimands CBS News California journalist Julie Watts multiple times.

2. 2
