does Constance May sound really dated and dull, thinking short names e.g. Constance Lily also like Constance Bee but not sure how it would work because we don't like Beatrice is Bee a bit odd? Any other suggestions or opinions appreciated.

I really dislike the name Constance but if you're gonna go for it I think it needs an older, mature sounding middle name. I'm quite liking some of the suggestions above like Constance Mary, Constance Jane and Constance Martha.

Constance Bea is quite nice.

Love Constance Jane, I think Constance Beatrice is a bit of a mouthful. Don’t like May or Lily - their overuse has made them a bit dull, they feel like the current equivalent of Louise.
Constance Mary? V classic though.

I don’t really like Constance as it sounds like a cross between “constipation” and “incontinance” to me

Are you going to shorten to Connie? I think that's lovely too.

I think you want a super cute short punchy middle to brighten Constance because she's quite sensible.

I’m not keen on May as a middle name. It gets overlooked. It’s a nice name, though. I like Lily too. Do you mean Bee as in the insect? Or Bea as Beatrice, even though you don’t want to use that?

Constance Bea is lovely. Nothing wrong with Beatrice as a middle name though.

I like Constance Lily.
