Help[Opinions] Connor (F)
This has officially been accepted as a unisex on Nameberry and I just want to know, what do you guys think of Connor on a girl?
Personally I think it’s borderline horrible on a girl noting I know a guy named Connor Blake, but to each their own.
"People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing all day."
Rate my personal name list please :) https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/217493

I dislike it on a boy and think it’s horrible on a girl. There’s nothing even remotely feminine about it.

Borderline horrible? You are too polite and generous. Anyone who really, really craves the name for a girl should think very hard about Constance instead.

I don't think it works, but I could maybe see Conner as unisex.
For accents without rhotic r, Connor-on-a-girl could be Conna or something?

I once met a woman named Connor. Honestly, a real life bearer didn't make the name seem any more feminine to me. It sounds strictly masculine, and I don't know why parents feel the need to do this to their daughters.

There are some boy names I love for girls, like Kai or Hunter, but I just can’t picture Connor on a girl. It should stay in the boy’s lane only.
Then again, I could’ve never imagined Mandy for a boy, but there’s Mandy Patinkin, and he somehow makes it work for him. Although, it’s just a nickname as his full name is Mandel, but still.

This makes me sad. I love it on boys. But once a traditionally masculine name becomes accepted as unisex, before long, it's lost to the boys altogether.

Unisex means it's NOT lost to the boys at all though. It's only lost to the boys if it becomes feminine, but even then you can name your son whatever you want even if it's more common for girls.

Unisex SHOULD mean it's usable for both. It almost never works that way in the end. Ashley was considered male originally. Then unisex for a brief moment. And finally, exclusively female. Now, if you suggested naming a boy Ashley, you'd get all kinds of blowback from people saying it's feminine. It's the typical pattern.

Unisex for a time before it goes totally to the girls side...

I agree 100%

I don't like this name at all, sorry. The sound is just not appealing.
