Got lucky. My given name matches with my personality. Just, fair, ritious, justice. Don’t get me mistaken, I f up all the time but have always strived to emulate those qualities.
Then learned bout my sir name & was like whoa, this is early whom I am as a person.

We at first weren’t sure what we were going to name him, but after a while we decided to name him after my best friend who had passed away 6 months before we found out we were pregnant. So it was our way of honoring and remembering my best friend.

We named him after his father. We wanted to start our own family traditions and hopefully one day a long time into the future, he too will name his son Justin and keep the tradition going.

I knew a girl in high school that got pregnant, she named her kid Justin because she really liked Justin Bieber. ?\_(?)_/?

I chose the name Justin because all the boys in my family and father’s family start with a J. No Justin yet in either family..Im a big fan of Justin Beiber and Im happy he got married. Just in.
“Just-IN” like he entered our family “Just in time “

He is named after my husband who passed away when I was 14 weeks pregnant with him. My older son (3) was the one who insisted his name be daddy’s name.

Justin was chosen because I like the name and wanted my first 2 kids names to start with the same letter.

Justin is my 3rd and last baby. He joins his 11 year old sister and 4 year old brother. We call ourselves J5 because all of our names begin with a J.

One of the reasons I like the name Justin is because it is not used a lot in this generation and we like to be our own kind of different, second the meaning of the name is to be “just,” “fair” and or “righteous.”

It just clicked with both of us when we thought about it. Not to long but also not to short. And I also liked the meaning behind the name, to be just.
