Thoughts on Constantine for a boy?

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.

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

I imagine he would get Con for short

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

Love it

I love it but be prepared for Connie or Tina

I don't like it, sorry

I likeit

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

Mustang27 · 26/09/2017 11:36

I like it

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.

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.
