Justin as a girls name?
I've heard of girls being named Justin, but not many of them. Would it be sociably acceptable in the U.S. to name a girl Justin without her getting too much crap over it? I know there are feminine version of the name includes Justyn, Justine, Justina, etc., but want to know if "Justin" would work.

There is no law against it, but of course it is 100% a male name.
Justice is a similar name which is a gender neutral name.

I think Justin for a girl might be cute and unique, but Justina for a boy is not the same. Girls can get away with confusing gender roles. Clearly all male names can be used for girls, but most girls with boy names do have feminine middle names. I do like some boyish names for girls, but paired with girly middle names. If I wanted to give my daughter a boy’s name so she could grow up to be strong and/or tomboyish, I would still give her a feminine middle name in case, because she could turn out girly and might choose to go by her middle name, and besides, a lot of tomboys do have girly names anyway. I like Justin Selena and Justin Rose.
I personally prefer Justin as a males name!

That would be mean to name a girl Justin.

I am definitely a pioneer for using boy names on girls, so I love your creativity. I think Justin could most certainly work as a girl name, but this is one case where I would prefer the more feminine, Justine. But other boy names I like for girls include Wyatt, Spencer, Tyler, Jasper (one of my all time faves, you might like this one), and Jagger, among many others. (: Good luck!!!

My sister's name is Lincoln and it took some time for the family to get used to it but I think Justin would be a beautiful girl name. It doesn't matter what is "sociably acceptable" it is your child! Just maybe add a girly middle name to go alone with it. My sister's name is Lincoln Olivia. That way when she gets older she can chose to go by her middle name but who knows she might love her name. Hope this helps:) Merry Christmas

I wouldn't recommend name a girl Justin, although in today's world it wouldn't be to bad. You could also go a little farther of the names you've listed and go with something cute like Justice.
