Help[Opinions] Re: Colton or Connor
in reply to a message by )(
Connor seems more distinguished and ordinary. I've come across it before, used for both people and dogs, and I know it's got epic history.
I don't hate Colton (it seems like Corbin, Colby, Dalton, etc, and I don't care), but it just seems like a random surname to me. My word associations (with colt, when I think about it) are untrained horses, guns, and cults; to be fair, my first word association with Connor is con (like scheme or drawback), but that also registers more as a name element to me, as in Conrad, Constantine, Khan, etc...and if I thought of it as col-ton instead, as in "coal town", that's dreary.
