Conrad sounds rather snobbish and unpleasant to me, but it has many positive associations as a Polish person - the novelist Joseph Conrad (whose real name was Józef Konrad Korzeniowski) and Konrad, a character, in one of Poland's most famous romantic works, Dziady by Adam Mickiewicz. I have a few relatives named Konrad, and while I'd choose a name with a sound I like, the positive associations outweigh the ugly (in my opinion) sound.
