What are everyone's thoughts on Augustine as a female name? I'm thoroughly acquainted with its extensive history as a masculine appellation (I've been studying Latin for many years, and I translated most of Augustine's Confessions two years ago), but lately I've been basking in the flinty sophistication it exudes when attached to a woman. I was also inspired by my sighting of Augustine Janeway on a plaque at the elite all-girls boarding school where I presently work.

Which of these combinations make the name sing?
