HelpRe: Justina Justyna Justine
in reply to a message by A
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.
