connor
origin: Irish
meaning: Wolf lover
Aww…Connor comes from the Gaelic name Conchobhar (pronunciation = no idea), meaning “dog lover.” It’s also another one of those trendy Irish surname names, and with a slew of (mis)spellings like Conner, it is actually more popular than its ranking suggests. It’s been popular in Ireland for many years, but it first hit the US charts in the ’80s, when it averaged a ranking of 494. Once it was introduced it rose rapidly, and though its dropped slightly from its peak in ’04 at 38, it’s still a fresh enough choice for your little guy.
current U.S. popularity rank: 2010: 57

My 21 month old is Connor Jameson. My husband and I both love the name Connor. His middle name came from a restaurant on Oahu called Jameson's By The Sea. My first name came from a restaurant from my parent's honeymoon (Kelly's Café.) Since my husband is a chef, we thought we could keep the tradition going. All of our names are Irish as well!
by kelkel2933Aww thanks everyone for all the great comments! My husband and I would meet when we first met halfway in a small beach town called Port O'Connor, so that is where Connor came from for us!
