HelpConner
I included this name on my 'hate' list. What do you think of it? Is it likable? Have you ever met a Conner, in real life?

I like it. I think it’s friendly and handsome.
I have met a Connor, a little boy. He’s completely adorable, smart as a whip, and hilarious.
As far as I remember I’ve never met any other Connors, but I would be happy to. It’s a nice name.

It looks so discouraging! Conner = someone who cons, cheats, commits fraud ... what's to like? And why not Connor, as in O'Connor? I still wouldn't like it, I don't enjoy lnfns at all, but at least it would be accurate and honest!
I've never seen either version used where I live, and long may it last.

And in Shakespeare too - conning something meant learning it by heart, by Viola in 12th Night for instance. But in today's world people are far more likely to discuss conmen than expert memorisers.

It's ok

Actually, the word "conner" does not mean that:

I took the trouble of looking it up before I made my own post. But I know what you mean. It seems like it should mean that, thus the name Conner makes you think of a conman. But to me the spelling makes no difference.

I've met a few Conners. It's not bad, I just prefer Conor.

I went to school with several Conors / Connors. They were mostly Conors though and I don’t know why that spelling was so common. Anyway, I find it bland and preppy.
I prefer the spelling Conner — I like that it looks exactly how it sounds, it’s more down-to-earth to me (I’m pretty biased based on my associations lol). I wouldn’t use it though...it’s not my type.

Lol, I didn’t realize the “conning” connection before...maybe that’s why no one I knew spelled it that way!

I think it's obnoxious. It makes me think of a conman, someone who cons other people, a conner, even though I know that the word "conner" does not mean that.

I’ve met quite a few Connors and Conors, and one deeply unpleasant Conner, whose parents I always assumed didn’t know how to spell the name so just went with what looked right to them, which is completely fine.
It’s a nice enough name, but I’ve been a bit over-exposed I think. Reminds me of conkers (link because I’m not sure if non-Brits will be familiar: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conkers)

I can't think of anyone in particular, but I know I've met Connors, spelled that way. I don't particularly like it, but I don't think it's awful or offensive.
