I used to dislike this name but now I LOVE IT! Something about the “nce “ at the end of a name is just gorgeous. Constance is elegant and fiery, someone to be reckoned with. I don’t much care for “Connie” though.

Lots of people don't like it, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the name Constance. It makes me think of love, peace, friendship, joy and laughter. I don't know how anyone could not like Constance. A personality to fit it would be quiet, pretty and popular. But with a short name funny, kind and smiley.

One of my best friends is called Constance. We call her Connie for short. I LOVE both of these names. My best friend is pretty and funny and kind-hearted. Now I associate Constance and Connie with these virtues.

Constance Yu-Hwa Chung Povich, known as Connie Chung, is an American journalist. She has been an anchor and reporter for the U.S. television news networks NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, and MSNBC. Some of her more famous interview subjects include Claus von Bülow and U.S. Representative Gary Condit, whom Chung interviewed first after the Chandra Levy disappearance, and basketball legend Earvin "Magic" Johnson after he went public about being HIV-positive. In 1993, she became only the second female to co-anchor a network newscast as part of CBS Evening News. She was removed in 1995 as CBS Evening News co-anchor after a controversial interview with a fireman, during rescue efforts at the Oklahoma City bombing, which seemed inappropriately combative and her interview tactics to get Newt Gingrich's mother to admit her unguarded thoughts about Hillary Clinton.

I like the name but then it is my name. I'am 58 years old and in the 6th grade we had 3 Constance's in my class with two of us having the same last initials so I always had to write my first and last name on all my papers. I have never gone by a nickname and was always told my name meant forever faithful, never-ending, steadfast. It is a strong name for a strong woman.

I really like this name. It's pretty and has a good meaning. But I hate the nickname Connie-it feels old-lady and boring.

At first, I thought this name was kinda weird as it reminded me of a "constable" (a police officer) but after saying it some more times, I've now gotten over that and like the name Constance. :)

Constance has always been my favorite girl name and I plan on naming my first born daughter this name. It's such a beautiful, strong name. And it works on a child as well as a strong, independent and confident young woman. I first heard the name in the mini-series "North and South" on the character Constance Flynn Hazard (who I must admit was my favorite character) and I absolutely adored it ever since!

Rather than lack of change, I think it is supposed to connote loyalty, steadiness and dependability.

Doesn't the word Constance mean a lack of change? Why is that something you would want to name your daughter? Isn't change healthy?

There was an extremely rude girl in my class once named Constance, so she sort of turned me off this name. Also, I prefer the form Constanza better.

As a child, I grew up with the 1993 movie "The Three Musketeers" (with Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland, and Tim Curry, among many others), and it's still one of my favorite movies today. And ever since I first saw the movie, when I was -- 5 years old? -- I have loved the name Constance. Always have, always will. I think it goes particularly nice with Heather.

I personally love this classic sounding name, but like others have said I really cannot stand Connie. I would prefer the nickname Stanzie, or just not use a nickname at all.

Constance Hopkins Snow (1607-1677) was a passenger on the Mayflower, the fourteen year old daughter of Stephen Hopkins. She married Nicholas Snow as an adult. Her life from the age of fourteen to twenty was told (partly fictitiously) in journal form in the book 'Constance: A Story of Early Plymouth,' by Patricia Clapp, one of my favorite books as a preteen.

My mom's name is Constance and her nickname is Connie. She always signed down on paper as 'Constance'. When I was a little kid I thought it was 'Constant'. I used not to like the name because I thought it was a word, but then now I really like the look and sound of it. Not a lot of Constances are out there.

I don't get why people immediately bring up 'constipation' and how this name makes them think about constipation. Oh sure, the name can remind you of the word 'constipation'. But it can remind you of words like 'constitution', 'construction', and, most likely and obviously. CONSTANCE! I mean, it does sound far nicer than some silly names that some people have actually used on their poor kids like Eternity. The name's a bit old-fashioned, and I hate the nickname Connie, but it's far from tacky, trashy, or immature. I picture the name on a rather pale woman with dark eyes and long, dark curls.

Constance is my name I've always hated having pet names and especially hate being called Connie. I feel proud to have it as my name, it's so strong and determined to me. I don't know why my parents called me this since I'm half German and half Irish. I haven't always liked my name and even consider changing it but now I feel as if my name is me. If that's understandable.
