HelpRe: Constantine and Conrad
in reply to a message by A
I don't care for either name (even more so for siblings, because it would look theme-y).
Constantine is very feminine for a boy, to me. And, if associations bother you (they don't me), I think of Keanu Reeves in the new movie Constantine. Conrad doesn't sound mature to me - wouldn't suit an adult, I think. Again, if associations both you, I think of the musical/movie Bye Bye Birdie - the character Conrad Birdie.
I don't think nicknames should be planned, but instead should be left up to the child. Anyway, I see Connie as a feminine nickname, and Con as a short form of convict (like the movie Con Air, for example). But, if the child wants them as the nicknames, then so be it.
