Re: Augustin / Augustine ?

I pronounced Augustine as AW-gə-steen and Augustin as aw-GUS-tin. I prefer Augustine because it is a traditional boys name in my area and most people know how to pronounce it due to notable figures like Augustine of Hippo and Augustine of Canterbury. Plus, St. Augustine is a well known cultural city in Florida. No one would assume that Augustine was a girl. Augusta and Augustina are the feminine forms. Since it has the same ending as Constantine, a Roman Emperor every school child has read about, it comes across as very masculine.
Augustin is okay, but it is more common in areas that I have no connection with. Of your combos, Augustin Xavier is my favorite. Augustin Philip also sounds nice.
Augustine Ignatius
Augustine Raphael
Augustine Julius
