DH and I FINALLY have agreed on a strong, unique yet classical name for our son due in [name_f]May[/name_f]. The name is [name_u]Constantine[/name_u]. His big sister is named [name_u]Atlas[/name_u], so we feel it goes together well. We love it, but are looking for nicknames.
Middle name might be [name_u]James[/name_u], so CJ is an obvious one. But I would love to hear your creative minds come up with nicknames for the name [name_u]Constantine[/name_u]!
So far we have [name_u]Coco[/name_u] (but I’m worried it seems too feminine).
Let me know!
P.S. yes I have Russian roots so the name comes from there and the Russian nickname is [name_u]Kostya[/name_u] but it doesn’t sound great in American [name_f]English[/name_f]
[name_u]Constantine[/name_u] is a great choice, and works perfectly as a brother for [name_u]Atlas[/name_u].
I would suggest…
[name_u]Connie[/name_u] (I recently met a boy called [name_u]Connie[/name_u], so it doesn’t seem too feminine to me)
[name_m]Stan[/name_m]
[name_m]Costa[/name_m]
[name_f]Tiny[/name_f] or Teeny (particularly when he’s a baby)
CC / [name_f]Cece[/name_f] / [name_f]Cici[/name_f]
[name_m]Cash[/name_m]
I’m loving [name_u]Atlas[/name_u] for a girl lately…so fun to hear that you have a daughter named that!
I think that [name_u]Kostya[/name_u] is super adorable. I don’t know that it’s too complicated in English…seems fairly easy? I do find [name_u]Coco[/name_u] a bit feminine.
What do you think about [name_u]Kit[/name_u]? [name_m]Kota[/name_m]? I suppose Cota, but that looks off. Same w/Koa vs/ Coa.
I think at some point in life he would be called [name_u]Connie[/name_u] by friends.
I like the NN [name_m]Costa[/name_m] best however. [name_u]Constantine[/name_u] is also the name of a famous movie played by [name_m]Keanu[/name_m] [name_m]Reeves[/name_m]. Keanu/Key would be a cute nickname.
i know a guy named constantino and he goes by consti, consta, costi & costa mostly
i’d also like to suggest coast! love that one. my favs are probably costa & coast
and also coco is beautiful for a little boy, i don’t think it’s too feminine but mostly because it’s more common for guys where i live (i know two guys that go by coco and no girls)
[name_u]Constantine[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] is dashing!
[name_m]Costa[/name_m] is my first thought for a nickname. But I also like [name_u]Kit[/name_u], [name_m]Stan[/name_m], [name_u]Cody[/name_u] and [name_u]Connie[/name_u].
I don’t think [name_u]Coco[/name_u] is too feminine, I find it quite neutral.
