I'm a bit saddened that the family tree has no Finnish relations in it - there's Justus (M) and Justiina (F) after all =)
The roots for the name origins are the very same, the Ancient Rome. Other Finnish variations for the name Justus are Justu, Julle & Jusu.
Justus' name day is on September 2nd (like Sweden), while Justiina / Justina has vanished from both Swedish and Finnish calendars, but back in the beginning of 1900's her nameday was June 16th. [noted -ed]

This is my little brother's middle name, and I hate it. It goes along with his name, (Corey Justus) but it's spelled stupidly. Me and my older siblings always make fun of its stupid spelling.

This is a prime example of a bad name. It looks and sounds so incredibly juvenile. If you must use this name, use the spelling of Justice. That's far better than the "just us" spelling
Justus looks like a modern knockoff version of Justice.

This is my surname. I'm American so we pronounce it just-us, like "it's just us here alone in the woods." The only problem with it is you always have to spell it for people because they think you're saying Justice, no matter how much you emphasize the US.

I love this name, but due to its pronunciation, I can't help but think of the name Eustace, which I find to be disgusting mainly because of its spelling. I suppose it's also because Eustace was the name of the mean old man from Courage the Cowardly Dog.
