It isn't pronounced con or, it isn't pronounced con ner, it is pronounced con nor so that's how it is most commonly spelled outside of Ireland. I really don't like Conner, but Conor doesn't really bother me as much because I understand that people from Ireland like to keep things the way that they were. Connor is just more accurate to the way that the name is pronounced. To all the people saying that they like the name Conor and can't stand Connor, it is pronounced the same way. It's also looks more symmetrical when written out as Connor, which is aesthetically considered better looking.
