As a South African, I'm very used to Conrad, mostly used by Afrikaans speakers of course, but it's a name I've always liked, and it has pleasantly athletic, outdoor vibes for me and also an intellectual vibe: both based on people I've known and Conrad people in the media. And I enjoy Germanic names in general. I often see it with a K - Konrad - which isn't as good: seems heavy and clunky, though the sound is the same. And I really can't warm up to Coenraad. It's authentically Afrikaans, but putting in the -e- changes the sound (oe in Afrikaans has the u sound in push and pull) and the extra -a- lengthens the second syllable slightly, which just spoils the whole effect for me. Given enough sons, I'd have seriously considered Conrad as a middle name.

I realise that this tells you precisely zilch about American opinions, and I'm not exactly a younger person either! But it might interest you. I hope so, anyway.
