Lovely; it really fits with the other names too.

brimfull · 15/10/2008 18:41

don't like it

donnie · 15/10/2008 18:42

I like it and I also like Connie.

LouMacca · 15/10/2008 18:45

Yes lovely! Love Connie too!

Walter still in the pot?

frazzledoldbag34 · 15/10/2008 19:07

I quite like it and is 'goes' with your 2 boys lovely names. Out of interest though, what else do you have on your girls list.......any alternative options?

LaDiDaDi · 15/10/2008 19:08

I think it's lovely and also goes very well with Edward and Arthur.

frazzledoldbag34 · 15/10/2008 19:08

My only concern is that it is quite a mouthful for a child to say. Unless you abbreviate to Connie (which I don't think you should) - [wags finger in bossy manner]

I like it
It "suites" your other names

I really like constance and am definitely thinking of having it. I am especially spurred on by the fact that it hasn't appeared in the top 100 girls names list for the past few years so not everyone will be called it when she starts school.

constancereader · 01/11/2008 13:03

obviously a brilliant name

electra · 01/11/2008 13:22

I like it - would definitely consider it for a girl.

CantSleepWontSleep · 01/11/2008 13:30

Lovely.

Ilove this and have it on my list - dh however really hates it.

I will be very if you get to use it.

gorgeous name

mumof2andabit · 01/11/2008 15:38

Love it will suggest it to dh for no.3.......

tryingtoleave · 02/11/2008 11:34

Dh and I are keen on Constance for dd, due in a few weeks, but we don't like Connie or Con. Are there any other possible nicknames?

Nancy66 · 02/11/2008 12:12

Great name and goes very well with your other two. I like both Connie and Constance

VictorianSqualor · 02/11/2008 12:13

Yes. Like it a lot.
Reminds me of that bird in Holby.

VictorianSqualor · 02/11/2008 12:16

tryingtoleave, what about CeCe?

Bumbleybee · 02/11/2008 12:20

I love the name Constance and its abbreviations, we had it picked out for Ds1 had he been a girl.

tryingtoleave · 02/11/2008 21:10

That's not bad, VS - thanks.

oldnewmummy · 03/11/2008 07:26

I'm Constance and hate it. Have spent 43 years informing people it's Connie. Had a partcularly shitty teacher at school who insisted on calling me Constance.

I like Connie though as it's a bit different. Or it WAS until I moved to Singapore where it's like "Tracey", and no-one seems to know why ........

AbbeyA · 03/11/2008 07:39

I don't like it-also dislike Connie.
