Constantine
What do you think of the mostly forgotten classic? Someone once said it has too many alphabets and syllables ans sounds a bit clunky. I disagree
I'm fond of the French / Romanian variant Constantin.
I like the Russian/ Slavic Konstantin
Greeks use the variant Konstantinos
And there is the Latin Constantino for Italian, Spanish & Portuguese.
Any middle name I think should be short ans consise so as not to seem overdone.
Perhaps
Constantine Andrew
Constantine Peter
Constantine Philip
Constantine Marcus
Constantine Thomas
etcetera etcetera.
So.
What do you think?
Illuminosa, immortalis
Sancta gloriosa

I don’t think it’s clunky at all - just the opposite. I find it pretty pleasant to say. It might be the “constant” in it but it gives me a calm, serene vibe. I feel the same way about the name Christian. I like the mns you chose, especially like it with Peter and Phillip.

I really like Constantine. It sounds handsome, distinguished, and historical. It is familiar but not common.
For middle names, how about...
Constantine Luke
Constantine Ezra
Constantine Evander
Constantine Adair
Constantine Jasper

Constantine is one of my favourite names - very strong and classic, with ties to Ancient Rome, a time period I find fascinating, and a great meaning. I think it could make a comeback along with names such as Atticus.
I've only known one Constantine. He has no mn, and his ln could not be more English - his father was English and his mother was Greek. He is known as Con, for convenience!
It's masculine and powerful, and gives me the same kind of vibe as Alexander, Maximilian, Leonidas... I approve. I wouldn't use it though as I don't love the sound of it in Swedish, but I'd love to see it on someone else's child.
It's ok. It was in my Top 10 at one stage. I prefer it as a middle name now. I don't consider it long, I pronounce it with 3 syllables, but I agree it is slightly clunky.
From your list I like Constantine Philip and Constantine Marcus.

I recently became aware of Constantine, and I like how it sounds soft yet strong at the same time. I also disagree that it's too long; someone mentioned Alexandrine recently, now THAT is too much (even though I do also like it).
I like Constantine Philippe, and also
Constantine Mérovée
Constantine Loukas
Constantine Nazaire
Constantine Arkady
Constantine Octavius
Constantine Vitale
