Chinese names for English names

Justin in Chinese: 贾斯汀 or a real Chinese name?

What people usually get wrong is stopping at the dictionary transliteration 贾斯汀 and assuming that is how a Chinese person would actually be named. It is not wrong, but it sounds clearly foreign. A good Chinese name for Justin should feel easy and natural to native speakers, fit a male given name, and lightly echo the original sound without copying it too literally. The best choices often use clean, familiar characters and meanings like talent, dignity, steadiness, or good character.
