Re: Conrad
in reply to a message by carmags
I have two associations with it: Conrad Hilton, which isn't a bad association, and I don't think that too many people these days would even think about him.
The other one is strictly personal: There was a girl I knew in high school whom I disliked intensely, with the last name of Conrads. That would keep me from using the name myself, but of course, that's strictly personal.
I'm not too fond of it as a first name, mainly because I find the second syllable, RAD, to be unattractive. But I agree that it's a strong name--perhaps too strong, though, a little harsh.
