I'm pregnant and just found out I'm having a boy. I am really set on using the name Connor for a boy but my husband's last name (Kirtley) sounds a tad odd I think, what do you think? Is there no chance it sounds okay or is it passable? Connor Kirtley.

Personally, I think Connor Kirtley sounds lovely. I even asked the opinion of my resident teen, and she said it sounds like a pop star name or an actor... So it has the youth seal of approval too :-)

Connor is an Irish name and it means 'lover of Wolves' or 'lover of hounds' so he's already a dog lover, which is always a plus!

I just looked at the traits of boys with the name Connor and I think he's onto a winner!  Apparently people with the name are excellent at learning and understanding and have a deep desire to express themselves, often in writing, acting or singing... So he really does have a chance of being an actor or pop star.

Go for the name that you really like, in this case I think it's a great fit but it is such an important decision that it is one that really only you and your husband can make.

I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well and that your baby boy is healthy and happy, let me know your final name decision.

Named my First Born Connor after one of my favorite movie characters

. . . And there can be only ONE!

Sounds fine to me. I think it's actually got quite a nice ring to it. Got any ideas for a middle name?
