I like it, although I don't like the nickname Nina. Saturnina does sound Spanish or Italian to me, very heavy and graceful. Like the name of a dancer. I can only imagine a dark haired Saturnina but I would be glad to see it on anyone of any background. The only problem is it is close to the adjective saturnine. It's cold and dark and gloomy, but in a magnificent way! Saturnina Esme and Saturnina Belen are both beautiful, I think the other names you chose are a bit too light and cheerful. Saturnina Augusta would also be nice (and formidable).
A few other combos:
Saturnina Noor
Saturnina Olalla
Saturnina Iris
Saturnina Lais
Saturnina Dulce
Saturnina Beatriz
or as a middle name:
Ana Saturnina
Teodora Saturnina
Gloria Saturnina
Flor Saturnina / Flora Saturnina
Viola Saturnina
Ligia Saturnina
Josefina Saturnina (too much rhyme?)

I really like Urania, but pronounced "oo-RAN-ia". It has a similar appeal to Saturnina but more lively and intellectual. I love that Urania is the muse of astronomy. Artemisia is growing on me too. I also like Artemy and Artemio, male versions.
