Not used- more people will understand it as a male name and accept it.

My experience is that many people assume "een" names are probably feminine if they hear them without seeing the person, with the exception of Constantine. It could be regional. I don't think that makes Augustine or Valentin seem effeminate, though, just ambiguous. I also feel like some people would recognize the iy ending as being like Dmitriy.
