I think it's a great name and know a girl who has a DS called Austin. You will never please everyone with the baby name you choose and why should you? It's your baby not theirs! For this reason and wanting to surprise everyone we are not telling anyone the names we have picked out. Most people wont be so rude as to tell you they don't like it 'after' you've already named your child.
No matter what name you use people get used to it in the end anyway. My cousin was born when I was 15 and was named Erin, I thought it was the stupidest name I'd ever heard now check my signature LOL
I too keep our names to just us for similar reasons. If it's what you like then no one should tell you otherwise (except for maybe DH ) I haven't been too keen on a couple of names i've heard in the past but you grow to love them as you get to know they baby/child/person.
I have a friend whoes Grandparents called her a totally different name to what she was given at birth because they didn't like the name her parents had chosen for her. But they got over that eventually...
Austin is a great name and dont let anyone else influence you out of names because no matter what name you choose there will always be someone who doesnt like it
