I don't see anything wrong with the name; I quite like it. :) I think it's a great alternative to the ever so popular "Justin". A little bit annoying however that some consider "Justinian" as "pretentious" or even feminine sounding! Moreover, be aware how people may think it's a combination of "Justin" and "Ian"- uh, no... that's soo incorrect! >:(
