Justyna is pronounced yoo-STIN-a.

Justyna looks as if it should sound different, perhaps jusTIEna, which I hope is not the case, but there seems to be no point in confusing the public.
Justina gives you Tina as a nn, if you want it. Which I don't, though I love Tineke (TEEnuhkuh), which is Dutch.
I would use Justine happily, without a nn.

Growing up my best friend was called Justine (she still is, she is just no longer my best friend) she was Filipina as have been every other Justine I've ever met, so I think of it as a Filipino name. Justyna or Justina on the other hand feel Eastern European to me.
All three are totally fine names, but not to my tastes. As the female form of Justin, they feel very dated to me and perhaps a bit "low brow?" if that makes sense? Same as a name like Kevin or Brittney. There is nothing wrong with either of those things, but it doesn't do anything for me.

Justine is my favorite, and also the one I've encountered the least in real life. (Most bearers of Justina were Hispanic and pronounced the name hoo-stee-nah.)

Justine is my favorite. Not sure why I ended up with Justina - too late to change it now.
I like it because of the Lawrence Durrell novel, Justine.
I also like it because it was the middle name of someone I once knew, Shannon Justine. It's unusual and dignified, especially as a middle name.

Hi !!!
I think that Justine, Justyna, Justine but also Giustina and Iustina or Yustina are quite dated and not so exiting.
Anyway my favourite form is Iustina.
It is the same of Giulia / Iulia, Giovanna / Ioanna or Giunia / Iunia.
I'm strange, I know but I dislike the 'correct' Italian modern form with /gi/ while I much prefer the forms with /io/ or /iu/ that are Ancient Latin, Ancient Greek or also Romanian.
It is something about elegance in my opinion. The /I-/ names seems more refined and are also more similar to the roots of these names.
I also prefer Yehudit to Judith or Yemima to Jemima or Yasmina to Jasmine or Yitro to Jethro ...

I also prefer the older Y sounding versions of modern J names.
