Faustyna or Faustina
Thoughts? Which do you like more?He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.

FaustinaI dislike both names, but Faustyna looks like a typo.

I'd expect Faustyna to have an ie sound rather than an ee sound, so I'd go for Faustina.Can't say I enjoy either one, but Faustina at least looks authentic.

Faustyna, or better Faustýna. It's the default Czech spelling so it looks more natural to me. I just checked that there are 5 Faustýna's and only one Faustina in my country. I'd be thrilled to meet one. I quite like it, it reminds me of Faust rather than the Saint.

FaustinaThe other one looks like it djould be pronounced faus-TIE-na.I'm not too big on it, just reminds me of Faust snd making a deal with the devil.

FaustynaI love this Polish name.

Faustina works better. Faustyna looks Polish which is fine but unnecessarily uncomplicated outside of Poland.

I don’t like the name much. I saw an opera a number of years ago called The Faust and this name reminds me of that even though the meaning is different.Of the two spellings though based solely on the look I prefer Faustina

Faustina is better, the y looks odd to me. I dislike the letter F generally but there's something so interesting about this name. I associate it ofc with the play primarily.

FaustynaBoth are aggressively Catholic.

Faustina looks a lot more appealing. The y feels random unless you are from a country where that is the standard spelling.
The meaning "auspicious, lucky" is nice, but the name is too similar to Faust.

I don’t see the point of using Faustyna if you aren’t Polish, and apparently both have connotations of very devout Catholicism?Ignoring this, Faustina’s cute, but not a name I’d use myself.
