I really like both of these names, though I prefer Justine (as I prefer most -ine names to -ina names).

---

I did know a Justina in elementary school, but she pronounced her name hoo-stee-nah (most of the Hispanic, mainly Mexican, students had immigrant parents, but I believe she was actually an immigrant herself). A lot of the teachers would call her Justina with a hard-J though. I once asked her which she preferred, but she just shrugged and said she answered to both. What I don't understand is, if teachers could hear her friends call her "hoo-stee-nah" then why did they continue to call her "juh-stee-nuh"? Oy.
