[Opinions] Re: Connor
in reply to a message by Anneza
The surname derives from the first name though, not the other way around. James and Michael are surnames too. I don't see what the difference between them is.

You didn't say you disliked Connor because it was recent, though, you said you disliked it because it was a last name. Connor and James and Michael are all similar in that they are first names that have last names derived from them. That appeared to be your criticism.
If your view really was all along that any name that has not been common for millennia is unimaginative and pretentious - well, that's a really odd view.
