I love Constantine (spelled Constantin or Konstantin), but people in English-speaking countries cannot use it because they'll be accused of being snobs.Joaquin works if you're Hispanic, but in English it will get mispronounced.

Joaquin is nice (though I've only ever heard the pron. hwah-KEEN), but I LOOOVVVVEEE Constantine. I would use it in a heart beat. I knew the sexiest man named Constantine *sigh*, and last year I met the cutest little two-year-old boy in the whole world whose name was Konstantin, and he went by the nickname Kosta (COHS-ta), just adorable. And he referred to himself in third person, so he'd say stuff like "Miss, Kosta can play with the blocks please?"

CONSTANTINE!I'm pretty sure the whole board knows of my infatuation with the name Constantine by now. It's been my favorite name since first grade. And by favorite name, I really mean favorite name. If my entire PNL (boys and girls) was out running a race, and the name who came in first place was the name I liked most, Constantine would come in about 15 miles before any other name. I love it. Like, love it. If I have kids, and if I have a son, he WILL BE NAMED Constantine. He has to be. I just... oh man I love that name.Joaquin is also quite nice, especially with the Portuguese pronunciation, but it vastly pales in comparison to Constantine. =P

LOL thanks :) [m]the way you feel about Constantine is how I feel about River & Charlotte, and a few other names.Constantine is very handsome I hope you use it oneday! I think I'll be putting both Joaquin, and Constantine as MNs for me.

LOL That pretty much describes how I feel about Ellen. (The most amazing name in the whole world)I think Constantine is a great name and I hope you get to use it some day.

lolI love Constantine as well, and it will probably my first son's MN, but I'm not quite THAT exited either :p Nice to see some enthusiasm around here :D

Constantine is gorgoeus. I like most "Constant-" names. Joaquin looks a bit hard to pronounce, but it's a nice name too, I guess.

I love Constantine, and I fully intend to use that as a MN for my first son. Joaquin has a very nice look and the sounds is good too, so it's a good name as well.

Yes, I like them both. Though I prefer the pronounciation Jo-ah-kin

I think it'd be a great sibset... both are original, but obviously not unheard of; easy enough to pronounce (after the initial meeting, of course), but still unlikely to be overly popular. I approve!

I absolutely love Constantine. Joaquín is okay, but isn't the Portuguese version Joaquim? Or is Joaquin also used?
