Julius Erving is "Dr. J.," a major US basketball player of the late 70s-early 80s. He's the only famous Julius in modern America, and I've always joked Lionel wouldn't want people to think of a tall black man when they saw his son.
Historical accuracy is not, you will concede, a major concern of any group of people who could put "Skinwalker" on the air. And "Julian" as a name is close enough to sound like Julius without sounding outdated or odd to the average American TV viewer.
