I know a little boy with Constantine as a middle name.

I have a Constantine. People have always been complimentary about the name, though they do always ask how we shorten it. Answer: we don't. If you want to, the traditional Italian nickname is Tino, my Italian - American friend tells me. There are only around 100 Constantines under 8 in the UK so you'll almost never meet another one.
It's particularly good when you get to ancient Rome in the history curriculum, though mine is actually named after scouse magician John Constantine rather than the first holy roman emperor.

John Constantine is an anti hero in a very popular comic book.

I think other kids will definitely find that name hard to pronounce or might even joke about his unusual name to be honest, it's really not a conman name so I think it's hard for people to get used to saying it, I don't get how some one can say ' ohh Constantine is a lovely name 🤔 But I guess there will always be the odd few that like it. I mean what do you call him for short ? Const ! ?

Roxx1516 · 01/10/2017 12:14

If your a scouser calling Constantine 'const' in the accuse accent for short it sounds liek cunts 😂... say const in a scouse accent 🙈 Lol

Roxx1516 · 01/10/2017 12:20

Sorry, didn't mean to be offensive there but people will joke about it in all honestly especially kids

Llamacorn · 01/10/2017 12:20

I love it! Nothing bad to say about the name, reminds me of John Constantine too.

Roxx1516 · 01/10/2017 12:23

Be realistic will you
