We love both of these names (and also Helena).

Any opinions/views?

I think Constance/Connie is lovely.

I'm a Constance. Both lovely names

I like both but am never sure how to pronounce Constance as I know one who pronounces her name Con-STANCE, with the emphasis on the last syllable and another goes by CON-stance, emphasising the first syllable. So be prepared for different pronunciations.

I have a Felicity Faith. People have always commented how nice her name is.

I think Tiggy could work as a nn for Felicity which is a very sweet nn!

I prefer Felicity.

Constance was my Aunts name and she hates it. People always shorten it and call her con/connie which she says always makes her think of a con or conman.

I like the sound of Felicity but the only Felicity I know gets the NN Flick which isn't so nice. I love the NN Connie, both really nice names :)

I prefer Felicity as it means happy, whereas Constance is more steadfast I guess but I'm not sure about the nicknames for felicity. Would Tiggy be too hard to pull off? DH has always loved Constance nn Connie.

I prefer Constance. Very unusual! And Connie would be a lovely nn in my view.

DottieRose · 05/11/2012 12:50

Ooh both nice but I think Felicity would be my choice! Have you any nickname options?
