Out of curiosity: what is the heavy negative cultural tie for Justin? The first person I think of is Timberlake, and while he has certainly had his ups and downs in his career (I think he's currently in a "down" due to the DUI), he's not necessarily persona non grata.

Justin Bieber - he is exactly my age and the age of my old friends from school (and boyfriend). I didn't like his music, but he was fine at the start but he was a kid, really. He became a knob, however, but I understand that's just what fame does to most young minds. Still, there's a heavy association

I haven't heard of any negative connotations! And I know a few kids with this name. If you like it, I would say use it.

I'm curious - you mean you've never head of the following;

Ebenezer Scrooge from A Christmas Carol
The British Royal Family whose family name is Windsor
Homer Simpson from The Simpsons
Justin Beiber (a singer)

I understand you might not have known about Tory if you didn't live in the UK, but our Conservative Party is called the Tories. A right-wing person is called a Tory. I grew up with the name from the English dub of Cardcaptor Sakura, so I have both positive and negative associations.
