I've never seen Melancholia. But I've loved the name
Justine ever since I first read it in
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
I think it is an elegant name that is not stuffy like some elegant names. It has a playful quality. It sounds both soft and crisp. A
Justine seems like they could be rich or poor or middle class. I can imagine a little girl through an old woman with this name.
I like both
Justine and
Justina. I think I prefer
Justine but they are both lovely.
As
Lily mentioned I also love -ine names. My favorites are
Augustine,
Justine,
Delphine,
Maxine,
Apolline and
Ernestine. I like
Adeline but it has a much different sound than those. I like -line names as well.
