I have a name etiquette question....

I won't be having children for a few years, but I love thinking about names anyway.  I've come up with lots of options, but I always keep coming back to the same name for a boy: Julian/Julien.

Now, the problem: my name is Julie.  Is this tacky?  It feels like I'm naming my son after myself, which I am strongly opposed to - I would never agree to a Junior using my husband's name.  I am really attached to my name - I absolutely love it, and I think it fits me perfectly.  I want my kids to have names that they feel this way about too

I don't know how likely it is that I would actually want to use this name when I do have kids, but it's always something I've thought about.  What do you all think - both about the name itself (and which spelling and possible middle names) as well about the problem of similarity to my own name?  Thanks!
