Is this name dated...

[PopOfNothing]

Connor?

DP seems to think it is, I love it.

It's not here in Canada (probably not helpful)

Is the traditional spelling not "Conor"?

I think it's lovely. No idea what the 'right' spelling is though.

Conor is definitely the 1st name. Connor the surname. Of course either could be used. All the Connors (know 3) / Conors (know 1) (I actually also know a Connar!) are all late teens/early adults, so I suppose it is a little bit, but I definitely wouldn't think it was... If that makes any sense!

Strangely, I know quite a few (didn't realise until this thread)

OP,

Well, it's not considered 'dated' in Ireland!
(The single 'n' spelling, anyway: was ranked 4th most popular boys' name last year).

Personally, I really like the name. Especially the 'dog or wolf-lover' element.
Is due a revival in these parts! (Home Counties).

The two I know in RL (one a single 'n', the other a double 'n') are both in their 30s. Oddly, it's the 'Connor' who is of proud Irish extraction, and the 'Conor' has no connection to Ireland whatsoever: parents just liked the name.

But I have heard it occasionally called out to an under 5, just when out and about.
So I give it a definite yes vote.

I like it. Very popular.

Good choice.

Lovely name, it doesn't seem dated to me.

A few round here, spelt Connor, but as many as Callum and Cameron.

not

There's an awful lot of "Connors" aged about 24- 29 that I know of, so it may have been a big early 90s name? I am in GB not Ireland.

I'm not mad about it, it's inoffensive and pleasant enough, but I am not naming your DC

Good luck

...sorry, I just saw that you weren't asking for opinions on the name just whether it was popular ...

As you were

It was hugely popular a few years ago. Nice though. I prefer the Conor spelling.

I don't think it is. I know a teenaged Connor.

It's a bit 90s, along with Callum, Kieran, Cameron etc. I don't mind it though.

Yes I think so.

Connor is a "naughty boy" name round here.

Yeah, I know a naughty Connor but a lovely Conor too. A name means nothing. I also know a horrendous Thomas, Joshua and Dominic. All names that would never get that comment made. It's just ridiculous.

An old school friend had a baby just last week and they've called him Connor .
