...I absolutely despise this name. I don't know why, but I've always had such a strong reaction to it; I feel like it is one of the dumbest names I have ever heard, and I don't understand-WILL never understand-why it is so loved.Okay, I'm done complaining now.

But there's a big difference between Constantine and CaligulaConstantine brought religious freedom and acceptance to the Roman Empire. Caligula murdered thousands. It's fine if you dislike Constantine as a name, but historically it cannot be compared with Caligula.

I know, Caligula should not be used on a human being ever. Constantine is fine as a name I just don't like it.
