Names like Constantine?

We're pretty much settled on Constantine, but am interested to see if a dark horse emerges that we've not thought of...

We also like Alexander, Nicholas and Theodore- hopefully that gives a sense of the style we're going for!

Some lovely names here! Agree that Constantine is a big name to live up to, but I believe in him Grin

I've run a few favourites past DH but I think we'll stick with Constantine; but the thread has helped confirm that it's the right choice for us. Thank you!

I’d imagine baby Constantine will be privately educated when the time comes.

Why? What a strange assumption to make Hmm?!

It’s a big name to live up to. I’d imagine baby Constantine will be privately educated when the time comes.

Constantine is on our list and we already have a Theodore Smile
In the family there are also Valentino (which is a bit more masculine than valentine) Stephanos and Anastasi as you can probably tell our family is Greek.

I'd pronounce Constantine Con stan tyne

And the German Konstantin Kon stan teen

pelirocco123 · 05/09/2019 05:14

You will probably find people will have different pronunciations of his name ( as well as spellings) ...is this going to annoy you ?

Prefer Constantin to Constantine, but it's still a good name

daisypond · 04/09/2019 17:35

Constantine is great. Maximilian?

AverageMummy · 04/09/2019 17:09

I thought it was a girls name before I read the comments
Alexander Nicholas & Theodore all seem very different too
Possible suggestions:

Leonidas and Valentine were there, but Leo is too popular for me and Valentine sounds very feminine to me in English? Some great suggestions, thank you everyone!
