It feels a bit “10 years ago” - which would make sense given their ages. It’s nice enough, I prefer it short for Constance though.

Surprising! Are they genuinely Connie, or is it short for Constance or something else?

I love Conrad for a boy, so the Con- names for girls just don't appeal to me. But there's nothing wrong with them!

Don’t care for it as a full name, can tollerate it as a nn for Constance/Constanza/Constantia.

I love the name Connie!

It is nice...I know someone named Connie in our family, so the name has positive associations for me.

Would their names be short for Constance, by chance? I honestly couldn't picture anyone under the age of 30 - 40 with the name Constance though..Don't know why :|

I'm surprised - where I'm at, it's considered a bit dated (while the similar Bonnie is slowly rising, go figure). That's because it's almost always a short form of Constance, which has also fallen out of use - though it was a childhood favorite (because of The Three Musketeers). As a nickname for Constance it's cute, but I don't like it on its own.

Slightly off-topic, but I did go to college with a young woman who went by Connie, and I thought her name was Constance for almost a year (or perhaps Constanzia, since her family was very Italian). Her real name turned out to be Concetta, which I'd never heard of before her. I always thought that was interesting.

its ok

It sounds like a mom name to me, but also kind of sweet. It's cute but I definitely prefer it as a nickname (Constance, Constanza, Concordia, Constantina, Consuelo, Connemara?) I also like it as a baby/kid nickname for boys names that start with Con.

It's one of those sweetie pie 70s names I don't think will ever go out of style. It's ranked right up there by Amy in terms of adorable girl baby names.

I'm very surprised. This one doen't feel like it's quite ready for a comeback. But maybe I'm wrong.
