Constantine

[17caterpillars1mouse]

Thoughts on Constantine for a boy?

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.

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 like it

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

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 likeit

I don't like it, sorry

I love it but be prepared for Connie or Tina

Love it

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

I imagine he would get Con for short

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

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.

Sorry, but I think it's awful. Just reminds me of constipation, and nobody wants that association!

It sounds a bit clunky IMO.

And I always thought that this was a girls' name?

There's what the nickname should be and what other kids might dream up.

I like it, we nearly had it as a middle name but everyone we mentioned it to looked horrified, so chickened out.

It's a surname

Don't like surnames as givens

I met one recently. It’s a great name!

Makes me think of the comic books with john Constantine in them. Keanu reeves was in the film.

It's a bit grand for me.

There's also the comic book character/Keanu reeves guy john Constantine. Just do it as a middle name maybe

It's a name
Of a beach local to me...
