I can't decide! Any opinions to help sway me one way or another.

Bridie / Connie as the preferred nicknames though I would try to use the longer version when possible.

Thanks

Constance but I would shorten it just to Connie. Plus I'm a bit biased to it cause my close friend is called Connie

Neither, but if you really have to Constance.

Neither.

Don't you have a third option beginning with A or D?

Bridget (or Brigid) is beautiful, Constance meh.

Bridie though is just awful, and Connie is wet imo.

I have a Constance and I love it! She was nearly Dorothy which I love as well.

I wanted Bridget so much and Constance was also on our lists. I’d go B rather than C!

Bridget is fine but Bridie is awful. Both Constance and Connie are nice.

I suppose it comes down to. Do you prefer Bridie or Connie, because odds are that's what she'll be called

I prefer Bridget to Constance, but Connie to Bridie!

Thanks for the views, I am still very undecided!

But helpful to hear what others think. Tonight I think I prefer Constance but I've loved Bridget for years as a name and regret it wasn't dd1 name.

Constance/ Connie

My grandmother's name. I would have used it if I could

I think Bridget sounds a bit harsh

Constance. Dd1 has a middle name and I wish I’d kept it for dD2...
