Yep, nice!

I really like it.

Stop preening.

I like Connie, but Constance is yuck. Too harsh. But certainly very middle-class. Nobody would ever think you had a wide-screen tv.

Sounds perfect with your DS's names.

I like Connie but not Constance.

Wheelybug · 15/10/2008 15:09

Love it - esp. Connie. It was my grandmother's name and her mother's too. Am trying to persuade dh into it if dc2 is a girl but no luck so far....

MadBadandWieldingAnAxe · 15/10/2008 15:10

Don't listen to anyone here (even me and even when I agree that Connie as a nickname is dreadful). Pick the name that you like best.

MrsJamin · 15/10/2008 15:10

love it, and connie too. do it!

Neeerly3 · 15/10/2008 15:10

none of my choices have gone via DH yet - will leave to last minute and spring it on him!

Constance is MUCH better than Walter, Neerly, but not as good as Knob ...

Neeerly3 · 15/10/2008 15:13

madbad - oh i agree, but sometimes the responses make you aware of something blindingly obvious, like a dreadful nickname, that you in your prenancy haze had not spotted, and so can eliminate from that ever growing list at the back of your diary!

Puppy, lets hope its a girl then! I get Constance and you get Knobmella, everyone happy!

I love Connie and Constance!

bossykate · 15/10/2008 15:59

but what if she turns out fickle and flighty?

Lovage · 15/10/2008 16:29

I like the name but it does make me think of Constance Spry - The Constance Spry Cookery Book. Which isn't a bad thing, just slightly offputting

seeker · 15/10/2008 16:31

I LOVE Constance! Would have had it but is sounded awful with one of the last name combinations she might choose to use in the future!

loobylu3 · 15/10/2008 18:08

Love Constance (and Arthur and Edward too)!

sept99 · 15/10/2008 18:09

Edward, Arthur and Constance is a lovely combination.

MortBlackCatResident · 15/10/2008 18:11

Love It!

Horton · 15/10/2008 18:22

I really like it. Lovely name and goes well with the others (and I have a wide-screen telly, but am middle class).
