I prefer Temperance to Constance. Although Constance, of course, started as a Puritan virtue name, it retained popularity a lot longer than most of those names, and now it has a sort of dated mid-twentieth feel to it. Also, I detest the nickname Connie.

Temperance, on the other hand, has a more seventeenth and eighteenth century feel to it, and I love the nickname Tempe.
