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.

I love it. It's classical and lovely. Connie is a nickname is also lovely.

savvy7 · 12/03/2021 18:46

I like it too - a good combination of a classy name but still uncommon. Go for it!

MrPanks · 12/03/2021 18:46

Lovely. I have a Spanish friend called Constanza- Connie for short. I love Constance. It's timeless.

savvy7 · 12/03/2021 18:47

I don't have a recommendation for a middle name but perhaps something with one syllable e.g. Constance Jane.

slowtik · 12/03/2021 18:47

Absolutely love it!

Was on my choice for the girls many years ago but chose something else in the end. We have an auntie Constance but didn't like the name being shortened to Con.

Like the name but not the nickname.

Personally I think it's very fusty and frumpy.
And Connie as a nickname is a bit meh.

thelegohooverer · 12/03/2021 18:58

I love it. I feel like it should feel old and fusty but I can’t help really liking it.

DollyParton2 · 12/03/2021 19:10

Really like it

JayAlfredPrufrock · 12/03/2021 19:12

I like it.

Clemency could be an alternative

Laissonslesjoliesfemmes · 12/03/2021 19:14

Beautiful. I've known two Constances, would happily name my daughter after either of them.

LadySlipper · 12/03/2021 19:14

Love it.

ladygindiva · 12/03/2021 19:15

Beautiful. I know a constance / Connie. She's a teenager. She's the only one I've heard of irl I think.

DoubleDeckerSwimmer · 12/03/2021 19:17

I love it.

Orangesarenottheonlyfruit · 12/03/2021 19:18

Gorgeous

I'm liking it followed by a vowelly name as it feels very consonanty.

WithLoveFromMyselfToYourself · 12/03/2021 19:18

I’ve got one! So clearly I’m a fan. Depending on her surname, I think a one, three or four syllable middle name sounds best.

Roselilly36 · 12/03/2021 19:18

Lovely name, great choice OP.

TaraR2020 · 12/03/2021 19:19

Lovely :)

whyarentiskinnyet · 12/03/2021 19:20

Constance Grace ... I think its a gorgeous name.

dany174 · 12/03/2021 19:20

I like the name Constance but would hate if it was turned into Connie or Con.

Mimilamore · 12/03/2021 19:21

Love it 😍

Sarcobaleno · 12/03/2021 19:21

Lovely, and Connie is cool as a nick name.

MitheringSunday · 12/03/2021 19:24

Nice.

Constance Lucia
Constance Amanda
Constance Victoria
Constance Ruth

LeopardPrintKnickers · 12/03/2021 19:24

It's a beautiful name. I love long, traditional names for girls that can be shortened.

I love Constance followed by a one-syllable middle name like Rose, Eve, May, Hope, Elle, Bea, and so on.
