Can. 855 Parents, sponsors, and the pastor are to take care that a name foreign to Christian sensibility is not given.

You are not required to choose a Christian name. All the Church asks is that when someone is baptized that their name not be contrary to Catholic thought. Since the name Austin is clearly not an anti-Christian name or sentiment it is a perfectly acceptable name to be baptized with.
