What are people’s thoughts/opinions on this name please? 🤔 Any suggestions on this or similar names would be fantastic or names that would go with it (middle names etc)
Thankyou any help is appreciated.

Bethany Constance is a beautiful name x

SE13Mummy · 14/03/2021 18:41

Bethany Constance is lovely! I'm glad you've got over the possibility that your 'friend' will think your DD is named after hers.

viques · 14/03/2021 18:06

Sorry Bethany Constance!!!!!

viques · 14/03/2021 18:06

Lovely name, blessings on little Constance Bethany, and I am pleased you chose the Bethany spelling , it will make her life a little easier, which is what we want to do as parents.

Just lovely. And while generally not a fan of nicknames I do like Connie.

@ODFOx no family names to be honoured besides out surname... we've gone all out rouge 😆

I think it's a lovely name!
Names with a similar vibe: Patience, Joy, Prudence, Faith, Clementine, Ruth, Rachel, Serena: all underused IMO.
Names which would work as middle names: pretty much anything as it's a 2 syllable name with consonant sounds at both ends. Really flexible! Anything from 1 to 4 syllables with or without open vowel sounds. Do you have any family names you'd like to honour? Any of the list above except Patience or Prudence would work!
