Sir Justin is also the name of the DC Comics hero Shining Knight. He was a knight from the old days of Camelot that got transported into our time. He's not that well known, however, the most exposure he's gotten was in the "Seven Soldiers of Victory" story lines and in the Justice League Unlimited episodes "Task Force X" and "Patriot Act", which were some of the best episodes in the show. I like the name Justin, not simply because of the character, but because of its meaning- "Just." In my opinion, it is a strong name with an honest tradition, even if some of the pop culture bearers don't live up to the name.
It was also the name of US composer and horse breeder Justin Morgan (1747-1798). He is best known as the owner of the stallion Figure, whom would later bear his name and go on to become the founding sire of the Morgan Horse breed.
Oh! How could I forget Justin from Nymh? That kinda gives me an even more heroic sense of the name now when I think about it. I loved those movies! :D Not a famous bearer, necessarily, but the oldest brother in Wizards of Waverly Place's name is Justin. LOL.
He might be over 60 now, but in the 1970s Moody Blues singer Justin Hayward was a handsom blond bombshell - lovely!
