Which name do you prefer for our little newborn? Thank you.

Like them both - would probably go for Aidan though. I only know one adult Conor (spelled like that) and it is a beautiful name. However, if you're asking why people are going for Aidan in preference, I think it's because Connor (with that spelling) has a bit of a reputation as a "naughty boy" name daren't even whisper the ch word, in my area at least. I think Aidan is perhaps a more unusual choice.

Love them both. I'd lean towards Conor

I like both - are you Irish OP? Aidan is more common outside of Ireland than Conor/Connor.

My cousin in his mid-30s is Conor as are 4 of his close friends. 😧 I don't think it's quite so popular these days.

Not keen on either. I like Adrian though!

Not a lot of love for Conor! Why's that? Smile
