What does one think about Constance?

[TeamEdwardTango]

We're TATTC (thinking about TTC!) so this is not urgent! DH has his heart set on a name for a girl, but I'm not 100% sure.
I'm liking Constance at the moment. What do you think?

[brockleybelle]

I think Constance is a beautiful name. I know a Constance, but she's known as Connie.

I think it's Irish, isn't it?

[saadia]

I like it

[Tambajam]

Like it.

[seeker]

I love it.

I have to warn you though, that I wanted it for dd but couldn't because part of dd's last name is a potentially embarrassing name starting Con..... And she says that the ONLY think she likes about her last name is that it stopped me calling her Constance!

I don't think it's specifically Irish, although all the 'virtue" names used to be popular with Roman Catholics.

DD1's best friend at nursery in Brussels was a French Constance.

[pofacedandproud]

Lovely. We liked it but we weren't so keen on Connie.

[Sunshinemummified]

The only Constance (Connie) I know got called Miss Lingus by all her male friends. She was German so didn't really get it !

[seeker]

Aer Lingus - maybe that's where the irish connection comes in!!!!

[SquirrelTrap]

One thinks precocious

[castille]

I love it.

DH doesn't, so we couldn't use it

[rocketupbum]

I love it love it love it! My BF DD is a Connie and she is fab!

[Doodleydoo]

sweet name, know one myself and adorable little girl.

[ILikeToQuickstepItTangoIt]

I bloody love this name but dh wouldnever entertain it. It was also my grandmothers name.

I also love the name Patience.

[TeamEdwardTango]

What is it with these DH's not appreciating a good name?

I quite like Cornelia too. It's a family name.

Patience is lovely, but I'd have to be militant that she was always Patience and never Pat!

[TeamEdwardTango]

One thinks SquirrelTrap may be taking the piss?

[jellybeans]

I don't like it, abit too old lady. I like just Connie though.

[nickelbabe]

teamedward: you set that your DH had his heart set on a name?
what was his?

ps: i love Constance, it's a beautiful name.

[crazycat34]

Constance is a beautiful name. Serene, feminine, gracious, strong and independent.

[TeamEdwardTango]

Maggie is DH's choice

[pranma]

I have a very beautiful dgd named Constance Violet.She is usually Connie which imho is a beautiful name.

[TheDemonicButDandyLioness]

I haven't heard it for ages until now on this thread. I really like it.

Classic, unusual (these days) and feminine without being girlie.

[TeamEdwardTango]

Ok, so now I just need to conceive twin girls so I can use Maggie and Constance.

Any tips?!

[Tinfoil]

Connie Fisher is the most recent one I've heard of.

[lovemybabyboy]

I like it, Connie is lovely for a little girl but so is Maggie.
