I have an aversion to last names, it seems. Not sure why. Maybe because I'd feel the urge to build upon it by adding unnecessary details about a character's parentage and background, ethnic or otherwise.

I usually stay away from symbolic names unless it's significant somehow. And the more time I spend on choosing a name, the less I like it. I really like that one, though. Argentum. Hehe. I also like the letters J, t, K, X, Z, K, and D, so a few of those letters are the first letters of a few of my characters' names.
I've got a Julian too! His nickname's Julie and he hates it. I like how 'Julian' looks when it's written but I somehow don't like how it sounds when it's pronounced.
