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!!

I’ve got a Connor

Might not be the “traditional” spelling but we are happy. Especially as things named in gift shops are spelled this way

Killian Scott I guess.

BruegelTheElder · 27/10/2018 11:47

Never heard of him. Cillian Murphy, more likely? Even he's hardly a major celebrity though.

MajorArcana · 27/10/2018 11:48

Oh yes.

Who says it has to be major? He’s a cult celebrity because of Peaky Blinders, Anthropoid etc and for reasons I cannot understand a lot of women are obsessed with him.

Because he’s beautiful. Grin

Do you pronounce it Kill Ian or Killi an? It’s one of those names I’ve seen written down but never heard pronounced.

busymamakins1 · 27/10/2018 12:26

It's pronounced "Kill-yun" xx

May still make Ian nervous though 🤣

Grin As many women say.

He looks a bit feminine for me.

IStandWithPosie · 27/10/2018 12:28

In my accent it’s Killi in

IStandWithPosie · 27/10/2018 12:30

It’s the cheekbones, huge blue eyes and long eyelashes Tatiana

TatianaLarina · 27/10/2018 12:49

I only have eyes for Sam Heughan Grin

Conor but it was very popular in the UK about 20 yrs ago.
Cillian will be said as Sillian in the UK.
Both are probably fine in Ireland.

Cillian! I only know nice Cillian's and my ex is a Conor  (one n)
