Thinking about the name
Connor
Irish origin
“From the Irish Gaelic Conchobhar, meaning 'lover of hounds' or 'high desire'—'con' (hound/wolf) combined with 'chobhar' (desire/will). Connor became a legendary name through Irish mythology and royalty, then exploded into modern popularity starting in the 1990s. It strikes a perfect balance between ancient heritage and contemporary appeal.”
