Conrad

[IHaveACrapCat]

What do you think? DH is set on it, I actively like it, but get stuck on Con or Rad being the logical shortening so of it. Rad is ok, not keen on Con.

Thoughts oh great MNers

I don't like it at all, but I don't think it'd necessarily be shortened either. If I knew a Conrad, I'd just call him that unless he used a shortening. It's not a long enough, or popular enough, name to have an assumed shortening.

Love Conrad (Rad), it's a great name.

I love it.

I like it a lot. Was on our early list. I wouldn't shorten it tbh. I knew one growing up and he always just went by Conrad.

I actually really like it. But can't not say it in a Russian accent

I went to school with a Konrad who was known as Rado. I like it.

I love Conrad!

I know a German Konrad who goes by Konny

I think if you wanted 'Rad' as a nickname you'd have to push that pretty hard. The emphasis is on the first syllable so people would more naturally call him Con.

Lived with a Conrad in uni who went by Connor. I like it x

I have always liked that name, I think if it gets shortened it's more likely to be Con (which I also like).

I like it. And I like Con.

My favourite boys' name ever and if DD had been a boy, I'd definitely have used it.

Neither like or dislike it, really, but I think it's a really distinctive name.

Someone in my family is called Conrad. His names is never shortened, I think it is a great name.

I like Conrad and don't think it would be naturally shortened Tbh

Thank you all, very helpful!

Yes agree that using Rad as a shortening would take some effort!

DD has a distinctive two syllable name (Juno) so think they could work well together

Love it - very handsome.

It's a good name reminds me of the film Cat in the hat as that's the name of the boy.

We have one and generally it doesn't get shortened.

If it's important to you, he's not only the only one in his class, but the only one in his school, but no-one has any trouble with his name.

LOVE it
