Thoughts? We really love Justin. If not, what about Austin?

Both are fine, but Austin is a touch cooler and more modern to my ear.

Austin is much better than Justin in my opinion.

Justin = Mr Tumble, Justin's House etc.
But I prefer it to Austin, personally.

I knew a few Justin's when I was growing up, they inevitably got the Justin time joke.

Now I associate it with that bloody CBeebies guy.

My friend has a 2 year old Austin and I think it's much more modern and pleasing to the ear.

Justin's house is the first thing that springs to my mind , as I'm the parent of a pre schooler! And then Justin time.

I like both, I think Justin is more unusual at the moment

I like it, and it hasn't done Justin Trudeau (the Canadian PM) any harm.

Justin's outdated.

Austin is contemporary, and is much nicer in general/

I know someone called Justin Love... it depends on the surname. Austin is cooler.

It always reminds me of the following 'joke'

Q What do you call a man with a small penis?
A Justin (just-in)

Justin sounds very dated to me, but Austin is awesome.

I heard an apocryphal tale of a guy named Justin Syder. That's all I think of when I hear Justin now!

Prefer Justin. He will need to have a sense of humour though for all the old jokes, I don't like Austin, What about Ashton instead?

This. Went to school with a Justin who got this. All. The. Time.

Prefer Justin. Justinian if you want to be a bit different. Cbeebies's Justin's reign will end (and he's not a bad role model). Bieber seems to have rocked it ....

I like Justin actually but immediately thought of cbeebies' Justin Fletcher. But if I knew a Justin I don't think I'd always be thinking 'cbeebies'!
