Where does the name Connie come from?
Connie is a diminutive of Constance and other names beginning with Con, Behind the Name explains, and occasionally a masculine name for Cornelius or Conrad. Wikipedia describes an even wider family, calling Connie a pet form of Concetta, Constance, Cornelia, Consuelo, Conrad and others. Famous Connies prove the point: Connie Chung and Connie Britton were both born Constance, and Connie Francis was born Concetta.
Other forms of Connie
Connie is itself the nickname, so the sources list the longer names it comes from. Behind the Name links it to Constance, Constanze and Costanza, and Wikipedia adds Concetta, Cornelia, Consuela and Constanza. A Connie can always reach for the formal version on a wedding invitation.
Well-known Connies
Connie Chung has been a news anchor and reporter for ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC, and in 1993 became the second woman to co-anchor a network newscast, on the CBS Evening News. Connie Francis, born Concetta Rosa Maria Franconero, sold more than 200 million records and in 1960 became the first woman to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. And Connie Britton played Tami Taylor in Friday Night Lights and Rayna Jaymes in Nashville.
Connie’s popularity
Connie is a mid-century name. US Social Security data has it 145th in the 1930s, 50th in the 1940s and at its best rank, 40th, in the 1950s, when nearly 89,000 American girls were named Connie. It was 62nd in the 1960s and 160th in the 1970s before leaving the top 200, so most Connies today are in their 50s, 60s and 70s.
A few more things about Connie
Connie Chung inspired a generation of namesakes. Wikipedia says many Asian-American women were named after the journalist in the 1980s, even though the name was not otherwise popular at the time. Connie Francis, meanwhile, rose to fame in 1957 with a cover of a 1923 song, “Who’s Sorry Now?”.

A notebook for every Connie

Use it as a diary, a school notebook, a planner or a place to collect quotes and ideas. A name on the cover turns an everyday notebook into something personal.
Why choose a personalized notebook?
A plain notebook is useful. One with her name on it is a gift. Seeing “Connie’s Notebook” on the cover tells Connie it was chosen for her, not grabbed off a shelf, and that small touch is often what makes people keep a notebook going instead of abandoning it after a week.
