Hello!!

So I have found out we are having a baby boy and I love both of the names, and I really can't decide which to go for?
So do you prefer Cillian or Connor, a bit of public feedback always helps me before deciding on a name!

Thanks!!

Cillian.

Love both, have one ;)

Cathal, Conall and Cormac also nice?

I’m Irish and like both. But spelled Conor!

MemoryOfSleep · 22/10/2018 10:36

I don't know how it's pronounced properly, but Cillian to me reads as silly 'un! I'd go with Connor/Conor.

ThunderR0ad78 · 22/10/2018 10:27

Definitely Conor!

Haha thanks folks!! Cillian is getting more positive feedback so far ♥️
I'd quite happily change the spelling of Connor to Conor x

Conor - with one n though.

I like Cillian too but Conor is a high king legend name so it won't date. Cillian is more cyclical I think. Just a theory.

Cillian.

Conor.

TatianaLarina · 22/10/2018 10:16

To answer your question, if you’re Irish both are nice. If you’re not they’re both the new Liam and will date - Cillian particularly to Peaky Blinders.

Peachbubble · 22/10/2018 10:15

Cillian

Cbeebiesrehab · 22/10/2018 10:14

Cillian 100%

TatianaLarina · 22/10/2018 10:09

Conor. Connor is a surname.

Bananacentral · 22/10/2018 10:08

Hhmmm they remind me of either Connor McGregor or Cillian Murphy in Peaky Blinders!!

I’d go with Cillian as less common...
