I love the name Justin, but it's: 1. Too saturated and prevalent 2. Many associations So i think maybe DUSTIN could be a better less common variation. Because being overused is a red flag for me.
If you are named Justin you are automatically a cutie, I don’t make the rules. I have always liked this name for a teenage boy, it’s masculine, trendy, and just overall swag. I like the vibes. I will name my son Justin.

Justin is a strong, solid name! Transitions wonderfully from a baby to an adult man.
Justin is the name of a guy I had a crush on in high school. A major, serious crush. He was sweet and friendly and funny. So I like the name. I personally don't think of Bieber at all, or Timberlake. It isn't so trashy to me.

This name sounds nice, but I don't like the Justin Bieber association.
I do like this name because I have met a good number of people with this name who are nice. However, some people associate this name with Justin Bieber now. Everyone I know named Justin was born before he became famous. In an earlier comment, that person said the same thing. Justin Bieber actually became famous in 2008. I actually am that same person even though I made that comment anonymous. I'm leaving this one anonymous too.

I've never really liked my name. As a kid I wanted to change it. But based on the meaning of the name, "Full of Justice" I think it suits me. It's just not a name I care much for.
This is my name. And I was born before Justin Bieber soiled the name for a lot of people. It was very trendy in the early 2000s. Weirdly, I never met another Justin until around 2 years ago. I’m fine with my name, sorta wish it was more exotic.
The name Justin is awesome. It's carefree, rugged, adventurous, silly, and just plain cool! And I definitely prefer it over Dustin.

I do not like this name. It sounds trashy and stupid. It's also become way too popular, and being born in the 2000s, there's been about 5 Justins per class. Justin is basically two words put together "just in".
Saying let's not name our kids Justin because of Justin Bieber is like saying let's not name our kids Lindsey because of Lindsey Lohan, because look at all the crimes she's committed.

I think I like the French pronunciation better. The English one makes the name sound really unpleasant, plus there's the associations with Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake - and I can't stand either of them.
Everyone I know named Justin was born before Justin Bieber became famous. I can see why their parents would have wanted to name them Justin, because it's an awesome name. Justin Bieber became famous in 2007, so be prepared to meet someone named Justin who was born before then, because there are a lot.

Whenever I think of this name, I always picture a middle class white kid who may try to act black.
I happen to love the the name because it's my name. What makes it even better... Im a girl! I've yet to meet another female Justin. Yes I get the daily comments but I wouldn't change it for anything. You only get one chance to make a first impression... I never get forgotten!
This is my fiance's name and I love it. I have generally always liked most Justin's I have met and I ended up falling madly in love with a Justin. I think it's strong, youthful, and rugged.
I don't like Justin Bieber either, but I really wasn't a fan of this name even before he came along. It's a decent name with a nice meaning, but it sounds so youthful. I have a hard time picturing a 40-year-old man named Justin.
Looks like people dislike this name because they are jealous of Justin Bieber. Justin is a lovely boys name. I didn't pay much attention to it when I was little until now. And plus, Justin Bieber is a good person to look up to if you start to realise it.
Justin is an okay name. I'm just not a big Justin Beiber fan (not that I hate him, because I don't). So the name has gotten to where it reminds me of him. Still, I like it okay, though personally I prefer Dustin or Austin.
Justin is the name of my brother in law. I don't like how over-used it is, so I wouldn't choose it for my son if I had one.

This is one of my favorite boy names, I like the fact that it's both elegant yet casual, it's also practical because it's easy to remember, spell and pronounce. It's popular but not extremely common. When I hear this name I think of a handsome, educated guy who has a great personality and a great sense of humor. Guys names Justin are usually popular and unique.
Even though this name is common; I like it a lot. I might even name my future boy this. I think of a guy who is handsome, easy-going, hilarious, random, sensitive and sexy. Not to mention I know a guy named this and he was every one of those! This is a really cool name.
Justin is that kind of name that gives me a mental image of a doe-eyed boy who is very talkative and sweet and makes friends easily. I personally think it's a good name with a strong meaning.
I love the name Justin, but unfortunately, I have yet to meet a Justin who isn't a jerk. Also, the name is quite common now I think. Still a nice name though.

My brother's name is Justin. I like it! It sounds good for a young boy (he's 8), but it sounds good for an older person. Maybe if I have a son his middle name will be Justin?
Everyone I've met named Justin is a jerk, haven't met a Justin that didn't rub me the wrong way. I like the name too but, for this reason, I will not name my kid Justin.

Justin Case? Justin Time? How awful! That gave me a laugh but that's not fair to the kid. However, I love this name. It is the name of my best male friend. My favorite combo for this name is Justin Michael, which is named directly after this friend. My connotation with this name, from what I've seen of Justins in general, can be a tough guy who can possibly be mean, or a manly guy but sensitive. My friend Justin, though, is who changed the connotation of the name entirely.
I remember reading up on a Kabalarians entry for a deeper meaning, and it almost described my friend to a T - Easygoing, rather spontaneous and a great actor. I really like this name.
I like this name a lot. It makes me think of a very masculine man with a good heart!

Like one other person on here, I've met someone named Justin Case. I think that's a horrible thing to do to a kid. I also have a cousin named Justin and he's a very strong, independent, and nice person. I personally am not too fond of the name itself, but I like the meaning of it and I think it would be good name for a person to have.
My boyfriend's name is Justin. It suits him. My name is Heather. We both have very commoon, youthful names. But they are good names.

I have always liked the name Justin. It is boyish, rugged and handsome. A great name for a boy to grow up with.

I'm not a big fan of the name Justin. I had a friend named that once, and he grew up to be a very boring man. I hate to say it but I was probably influenced very much by this.

The name Justin is great name for a boy that is going to grow up to be a man.

I have always liked this name. All of the Justins I know are independent and strong. I like the name Justin Time.
1. Too saturated and prevalent
2. Many associations
So i think maybe DUSTIN could be a better less common variation. Because being overused is a red flag for me.
