Thoughts on Constantine for a boy?

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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!

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.

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

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