What does the name Julian make you think of, what overall vibe does it present, etc.?

Quite posh, traditional, public school types

My lovely mate Julian who was the best of eggs. We worked together at my first job and in all honesty there were days when he got me though it.

Dark haired, quite interested in fashion, not camp nor effeminate. Very clever and funny.

We've lost touch now and I still feel quite sad about it.
