Thoughts on Constantine for a boy?

OP posts:
Natsku · 26/09/2017 11:13

I quite like it, am considering putting it on the consideration list although spelt Konstantin (how it's spelt in the country I'm in) or possibly the shortened version Konsta.

MarmiteAndPB · 26/09/2017 11:15

It's one that we've discussed. It sounds a little bit foreign to me, which is why I have reservations, but I do like it in the abstract.

Mustang27 · 26/09/2017 11:36

I like it

pipilangstrumpf · 26/09/2017 11:56

I love me it. I know a couple of Konstantins but quite like your suggested spelling too.

Jooni · 26/09/2017 12:18

I really like it, but it's an awful lot of name. I'd probably use it as a middle but not a first.

OrgyofSausages · 26/09/2017 12:42

I likeit

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 26/09/2017 13:00

I don't like it, sorry

Dustbunny1900 · 26/09/2017 15:49

I love it but be prepared for Connie or Tina

pantrylightout · 26/09/2017 16:01

Love it

donajimena · 26/09/2017 16:05

I love it. But I wouldn't use it. As a PP said its too much name.

Mustang27 · 26/09/2017 16:06

I imagine he would get Con for short

MsPassepartout · 26/09/2017 16:07

I love it. DH vetoed it. He said it sounded too girly.

lizzieoak · 26/09/2017 16:33

I don't mind it in the abstract but to me it has 2 issues: one is the feminine nicknames and two is that it's a lot to live up to as I solely associate with the Emperor.

Sorry, but I think it's awful. Just reminds me of constipation, and nobody wants that association!

oldmacdonalde471 · 26/09/2017 17:41

It sounds a bit clunky IMO.

And I always thought that this was a girls' name?

There's what the nickname should be and what other kids might dream up.

WildRosesGrow · 26/09/2017 20:37

I like it, we nearly had it as a middle name but everyone we mentioned it to looked horrified, so chickened out.

Only1scoop · 26/09/2017 20:40

It's a surname

Don't like surnames as givens

Jermajesty · 26/09/2017 20:54

I met one recently. It’s a great name!

8misskitty8 · 26/09/2017 21:09

Makes me think of the comic books with john Constantine in them. Keanu reeves was in the film.

It's a bit grand for me.

Dustbunny1900 · 26/09/2017 21:10

There's also the comic book character/Keanu reeves guy john Constantine. Just do it as a middle name maybe

Barbie1 · 26/09/2017 21:10
