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

Bethany is lovely, you have spelled it Betheny though.
