Thoughts on the name Connor?

[Pettv]

I like the name and feel it's getting slightly less popular..

It's decent. Definitely usable.

Imagine being so snobby that you happily defend your classist views by calling children rats.

Conor is hugely popular in Ireland, been in the top 5 boys names for many many years, always spelt with one n, it's ok but I know so many at this stage it's become boring, definitely not a chav or down market name though..

I know one of each, both proper adults now
The 2n Connor is just lovely, the 1n Conor not so much!

@SummaLuvin

Made me think of Connor MacLeod in ‘Highlander’

Love this name

It's ok. Conall is nice too (not 100% sure on the spelling)

I like it.

I know an adult Connor and he’s the complete opposite of ‘naughty boy’. He was a straight A student at school.

A bit safe. Conor over Connor for a first name.

I love the name Connor. I prefer the 2 nn spelling.

Not one I'd consider unless I had Irish heritage and wanted to celebrate it.

I like it. In Ireland,it is typical spelt Conor as a first name. Connor is more common as a surname.

Common name but less so recently. No negative associations. I love it. Also like Killian and Cathal.

Townie name.

I love it!

Connor Swindells (Sex Education, SAS Rogue Heroes) seems to be a complete good egg.

Agree with pp that in Ireland it's typically spelt with one n as a first name, with the double nn spelling more usual in the surname. It's very popular here.

Ok if you have Irish ancestors otherwise I think there are much nicer names.

Love it!

Agree one n, it's a grand name. Don't love it but like it and considered it briefly for both DDs had they been boys.

Irish boys names always get the naughty boy comments on here. Girls names not so much, they get the can't spell/pronounce it, don't do that to your child comments.

In Ireland Conor is like James - could be any age and any social class.

Thanks for the replies, Irish roots but living in the uk.
Would spell it with one 'b' I think now, Conor. Really loving it

It's better without a 'b' at all, Pettv.

No, they just have that feel to me.. Vinnie is another one.

I also think girls flower names like Poppy and Lily are a bit wet.

None of this means that Vinnies are thuggish or Poppys are wet. They are just the feeling those names give me - and this is a forum on which people express opinions.

Untwist your knickers..,

My knickers aren’t twisted at all - you’re saying that as an attempt to make me out as unreasonable when in fact all I’ve asked is why the names Connor and Tyler are inherently ‘thuggish.’ To which you have no real answer other than ‘they are thuggish to me.’

@Kanaloa , for some reason, there are names that associate the child with a certain socio-economic background. I'd say they were a bit like the Darren and Wayne names of my generation.
