I'm in the same boat as Wordsmith. I love
Constance, not so keen on
Connie. I remember going through a phase where I thought "
Stan" would be a great nickname for a
Constance. It has great 1930s "Hawksian woman" energy, and that's fun.
Connie could be cute in an ironic throwback sort of way, maybe? To me it's not very interesting, it's on the level of
Debbie and
Lori which, for me, are not vintage enough to be admired yet. But maybe for the younger generation
Connie could be snappy and cozy. I could see that.
