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 think it's lovely but the two I know are always known as Connie which I really don't Iike as a name

GintyMcGinty · 12/03/2021 20:23

I like it. Classical.

Vursayles · 12/03/2021 20:32

Pearl 😍 That is also lovely and so under used

EwwSprouts · 12/03/2021 20:34

Lovely name.

mrwalkensir · 12/03/2021 20:35

Mozart's wife. Can't get more genuinely rock 'n' roll than that. Love it

ezydays · 12/03/2021 20:35

I actually really like it

CatBiscuits · 12/03/2021 20:35

Gorgeous name

Jolie12345 · 12/03/2021 20:37

I don’t love it. It makes me think of the digestive system?! Hmm Maybe I’m just strange. Florence is a similar sounding name and much softer

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 12/03/2021 20:45

I don't like it, but Its not me making the choice.

Constance Olivia

I really like it. I also like Connie because I loved Connie Beauchamp in Holby City!
(Wasn't Lady Chatterley's name Constance?)

easterbuns1 · 12/03/2021 21:03

I love it, it was on my list but vetoed by my other half.

Quornflakegirl · 12/03/2021 21:09

I love it and always have. It was on our list.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 12/03/2021 23:49

I like Constance which is very elegant, but I couldn't use it personally as I dislike the sound of Con/Connie which are the likely nn's, sorry. Similar feeling names I'd likely choose would be Florence, Alice, Grace, Verity, Honor or even maybe Millicent (if I was feeling brave!).

Because I'd want to try for the cute nn Cece rather than Con/Connie, I might choose Celia or Cecilia/Cecily as a middle for Constance (or another C name like Claudia, Claire, Camilla, Caroline etc).

DramaAlpaca · 12/03/2021 23:51

I just adore Constance.

MercyBodle · 13/03/2021 00:03

Constance has grown on me lately. I'm not keen on Connie though. I do like Coco and Tansy as possible nicknames.
Constance Emma
Constance Eleanor
Constance Phoebe
Constance Lucy
Constance Helena
Constance Olivia
Constance Fleur

alexdgr8 · 13/03/2021 00:06

it is a fine name.
good, classic, and something to aspire to, being true, reliable, honest.
very good choice.

wizzler · 13/03/2021 00:18

Love it. Constance Joy would be my suggestion

CoffeeBeansGalore · 13/03/2021 00:22

I prefer Cadence tbh.

GreenandPinkFlowers · 13/03/2021 00:42

I don't love it, it just reminds me of the word 'constant'. I do, however, adore Connie on its own 😍

DarcyJack · 13/03/2021 01:01

Yes lovely

ButterfliesandMoths · 13/03/2021 01:02

Beautiful name

Porridgeoat · 13/03/2021 01:40

Clementine

Porridgeoat · 13/03/2021 01:41

Celeste

Thank-you everyone for your comments!
Veey heart felt 💓 however we are looking or leaning towards Betheny Constance or perhaps Constance Betheny... what names did you guys choose for your little buds?x

Bethany is lovely, you have spelled it Betheny though.
