HelpRe: Constance
in reply to a message by Siri
The "const" beginning actively reminds me of a word best avoided. Besides, I find it too dated, sorry. I do like the nn Connie.
I dislike the names Helen and Margaret. They are plain and unattractive sounding to me, and have been overused so long that they're generic. I should be biased in favour of Elinor I know, but I do find the name dated and just not very pretty, though it's my favourite of the three. I also think Elinor Constance flows best.
Don't get me wrong, I don't hate my name. I go through phases of quite liking it, sometimes. But I've never enjoyed introducing myself as Elinor, as I do find it old lady-ish. Other Eleanor's might feel differently.
