[Opinions] Re: Conrad / Konrad
I think Conrad is wonderful! I definitely prefer the C spelling, particularly since your other son already has a K name and you like Cord. Kord just looks wrong. Conrad Lucus Trey is handsome. I don't like Trey, but as a second middle name, it's okay. I think Conrad is fine with Killian, though it does sound a little more serious.

Trey is my constant name no matter what if its a boy the second middle name will be Trey for two reasons.
1. My first son's 2nd middle name is Ron after his father so Trey will be in honor of myself.
2. My son wants to name the baby three and Trey means three so he wins!I think Killian in the international context is much more serious than those who name it after the alcohol. Since my son is named so for the german heritage as well as the irish and is only K because while I much preferred the C the pronunciation in the US would have been a butcher's field day.

I actually forgot about the beer, so it wasn't the reason I find Conrad more serious sounding than Killian. I think it might be Killian's bouncing syllables; that "illi" in the middle is very high energy to me, so the whole name sounds jovial. I like your reasoning behind Trey, even though I don't like the name itself. I'm sure your son will like the connection to both you and his brother. :)
