Help[Opinions] Constance
I am utterly in love with this name. I would not use it as a first name, though. Just a middle name. What do you think of:
Helen Constance
Margaret Constance
Elinor Constance (Elinor is the only spelling I would use)
or even
Paloma Constance - Constant Dove...

"Mr.Rogers works hand in hand with the KGB" I Against Osbourne by The Dead Milkmen
Helen Constance
Margaret Constance
Elinor Constance (Elinor is the only spelling I would use)
or even
Paloma Constance - Constant Dove...

All combos are gorgeous imo

Oh no...Constanza sounds like George Costanza of Seinfeld fame. I just think of the episode where he remembers his junior high gym teach calling him "Can't-Stand-Ya"!)

Well, there's always Stanzi and Stanza. : )

I don't care for the name. I think of the words constant and constipation. I don't care for any of those names (I prefer the spelling Eleanor), but if I had to choose a combo, it'd be Elinor Constance.
Edit: Spelling.

The "const" beginning actively reminds me of a word best avoided. Besides, I find it too dated, sorry. I do like the nn Connie.
I dislike the names Helen and Margaret. They are plain and unattractive sounding to me, and have been overused so long that they're generic. I should be biased in favour of Elinor I know, but I do find the name dated and just not very pretty, though it's my favourite of the three. I also think Elinor Constance flows best.
Don't get me wrong, I don't hate my name. I go through phases of quite liking it, sometimes. But I've never enjoyed introducing myself as Elinor, as I do find it old lady-ish. Other Eleanor's might feel differently.

I think Constance is beautiful, too. Helen Constance works very well imo. I like the meaning of Paloma Constance, but I'm not totally sure I like the sound of Paloma.

hum constance theres a name i dont hear everyday sweet
1
It's a great name, but I don't like the nn Connie.
1
Hence why I'd only use it as a middle name.

I really like it, mostly because of its positive meaning. I'd never use it, since I've known both a Constance "Connie" and a plain old Connie, and neither of them have been the greatest people on Earth.
I think Helen Constance is my favourite of those. It sounds so very down-to-earth and dignified, and with the nickname Nell, it's perfect.
