Thoughts on the name Connor?

[Pettv]

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

They appeared very much twisted, you were quite excitable.

You are being unreasonable. This is a name thread, where people express thoughts on names.

Names evoke all sorts of feelings in people, and carry different resonances for no particular reason. I have no idea why those names do that for me - anymore than I know why Lily and Louis seem somewhat wet to me - they just do.

@Luredbyapomegranate , maybe because Lily makes one think of lily-livered and Louis sounds like Loo-y

Conor is a nice name. I only know one, a sweet toddler who lives on the south coast of England with his Irish parents.

I wasn’t ‘excitable’ any more than you. And while names evoke feelings, the fact that you think Tyler is Connor is the name of a thug actually has nothing to do with the name itself, just a bizarre connection you’ve made. In the same vein, I wouldn’t go on a thread and say ‘oh no, Thomas is the name of a boy who wets his pants. Yes, I once knew a Thomas who did… so it’s a horrible name.’

I quite like Cobnor

@girlmom21 don't be ridiculous, Cobnor is incredibly chavvy. It ought to be Conbor, obviously.

I don't mind the name at all. Other than I associate it with a boy whose family said it in a very strong Salford accent. So with a very short -O not an -or sound.

Said "normally" (I'm allowed!) I like it. It's a good solid name. I reckon Conor / Connor wears nice jumpers and has clean nails and kind eyes.

(Without the b, though, for me 😂)

I'm late to the thread, but well said @Kanaloa

I don't like the Connor spelling, but do like Conor. It's a popular name in Ireland.

Sorry 🤣 with an 'n', no idea why it my autocorrect keeps going to a b!
Conor

Your first post was very excitable.

And for whatever reason you have got a bit over invested in this. Chill out.

Do you always put people down in this type of way ‘calm down, don’t get excitable, chill out’ because they’ve pointed out that you’re wrong? I don’t think it comes off very well.

@Kanaloa , generally, yes.

Is this a name change fail or is this poster a general aggro type?

Conor is a nice solid Irish name.

It’s a very common name in Glasgow. I know loads of Connors, it’s a good solid name.

From one Connor to another, 11 months isn't too late to change - I can't stand my name - yet to meet an interesting Connor and genuinely considering changing it at 21, hence why I'm here - I feel like teachers at school were extremely quick to group a Connor as a particular type of person.

Connor is a surname as in O'Connor (Ó Conchúir) Conor is the correct spelling for a first name. Agree @Kanaloa

I prefer Conor with one N. I've known quite a few (with one spelling or another) and none that were particularly naughty. I've known naughtier children with very traditional names, including a Robert and a Jonathan - does that mean we have to call those names thuggy now?

Like it. Automatically makes me think of an Irish name.

Every child Connor I've known or worked with have been badly behaved- so it's a no from me

I don't like it.

Ds1 is a Conor. I love the name!

It's the name I list on the "names I stand posts"

Not aided in the fact I've yet to meet one who was not rude. As I have children from the age of its risiing popularity in England stage I met quite a few. I'm not Brirish so it's not a typically British thing for me l. I just really don't like this name.

I do like Conor, but for me it's been a bit sullied by association with Conor McGregor. I cannot stand the sight of him.
