Hello.
Thank you, those were very helpful. I do really like the name Constantine, but I think I'd prefer to have the name Catherine without the Connie nickname than the nickname without the Catherine.
Thank you for your help.

I think you can use whatever you want . . .
It's a nn - nns don't have to be exact extensions of the real name. They can be based on anything. Madonna uses Lola for Lourdes, which is non-traditional. Chipper Jones of the Atlanta Braves is named Larry Wayne. There are plenty of examples of people being given nns that aren't traditional extensions of their real names. If you want to name your daughter Catherine but use the nn Connie, I don't think that's so crazy. You may very well have to explain it or get questioning looks when you tell people what the nn stands for, but if you have a good story or don't mind, why not?

No. I really can't see Connie coming from my name. Sorry.

I think Cannie could. Or it would work with Cotherine. But imo you don't get Connie out of Catherine unless your accent makes the "a" & "o" sound alike (Isabel / Isobel).
In fact it could work in France, where the nn rules are very permissive. I know a Lea (leh-a, "eh" like "men") nn Lili, and though my first name is Claire some friends call me Cici (si-si).
