HelpWDYTO Constance
So, my Grandmother's name was Concetta, DH's mom is named Conchita, and Connie is my own mother's favorite name.
I was looking for something that might fit my style, and was also reminiscent of the names above.
Constance seems to fit the bill.
1) Wdyto Constance
2) Any other ideas?

I really like Constance! The Musketeers (BBC series) gave it a really cool, feisty feel, that really appealed to me, and she’s been on my list ever since. I can’t think of any other Con- names that might work.

Connie has been getting more love than I thought.
In my head it always seemed so harsh for a diminutive. I never thought of a better nn though.

I love Constance. It simple and classic and something about the sound is just really appealing to me.
My partner vetoed it for us though, because he doesn't like virtue-type names. He considers it like naming a daughter Patience or Faith. I happen to not like most other virtue names, but for me, Constance is different because it's been used solely as a name for a while now (constance as a word is now considered obsolete). Plus I think it's a good virtue!

I happen to like Patience a lot too.
But, I get that virtue names often comes with a lot of pressure. DH vetoed Victor for that reason. sigh.
I love the point about whether an obsolete virtue (in word, not deed!) makes it better. I wonder.
That is probably why people are so taken with names like Amity and Verity.
Makes you think names like Tace, Credence and Makepeace might get some light again.

Constance isn't my style at all, but there isn't anything inherently wrong with it. I think Connie firs well with your girls.
The only other names I can think of are Constantia and Gioconda. Is Gioconda too close to Gioia for you?
Constance Emily Joy
Constance Divina Marie
Constance Sabrina Martine
Constance Lily Judith
Constance Ruby Evangeline
Constance Abilene Marie

Strangely, I have never even heard of Gioconda. I am a huge fan of Gio names, but mostly on boys.
It's almost a harsh name for the pretty meaning, but I do like it.
Constantia is pretty.

I think its very underused and pretty. It would be nice to meet a baby or toddler named Constance.

I like it a lot! Sounds perfect for you.

Carmen
Caterina
Catalina
