[Opinions] Conall, Conri, Sullivan ...
WDYT of the names Conall, Conri & Sullivan for boys?If I'm not mistaken Conall & Conri are pronounced as KAWN-uhl & KAWN-ree, but I'm not certain of that.Edited to add: I don't really think of Sullivan as a surname, as I've never really known it as a surname.

I don't think Sullivan is a good first name.. well it kinda depends on where you live.

Conall - nice. I'd pair it with a mn that starts in a vowel sound if possible though because its so easy to loose the "LL's" otherwise. Eg. Conall Nathan. Say that out loud compared to Conall Aaron =)
Conri - I'm just not a fan of guys names ending with the "ee" sound.
Sullivan - I like it. Reminds me of the big cuddly monster from Monsters Inc.

I adore Conall. Love it, love it. With Conri, I'm on the fence. Sullivan is an awesome Irish surname. I don't really care for it as a fn unless there is a familial link.

They're nice names. I pronounce Conall and Conri as KAWN-uhl and KAWN-ree as well.

I adore Conall and Sullivan for boys, Conri is very interesting and i think i really like it, but i have this thing against names ending in just i. I much prefer y because i's have a bit of a trashy look ocassionaly eg. Brandi, Cindi etc.I would love some good middle names for Conri!
What aboutConri Alasdair
Conri Seamus (like this)
Conri Sirius
Conri Lucian
Conri Abraxus
Conri Everett
Conri JasperBex (who is now adding Conri to her list of names...)~~* BEX *~~

Gee thanks Bex, considering my name ends with an i ; ) Just kidding, haha. I've often wished my name were spelled Kerry actually, haha.Well I would personally use a family name, Conri Coleman wouldn't quite work, but possibly Conri Beck : )Conri Alasdair, Conri Lucian & Conri Jasper are lovely!Conri Everett wouldn't work for me since Everett is already taken in my family, haha. Could certainly work for you though : )Glad you have another name to add to your list ; )

Omg! I forgot your name ends in i! Doh! Im such an idiot, god most of the time i forget that Ciarda isn't your real name! lol
Conri Beck sounds awesome! Conri Coleman sounds like some sort of disease.. lol
I love Alasdair as a middle name, it works with everything!If you want to add more unusual names to my list, be my guest!
Conri will be my sim Darcy's first son, though i need some sibling names! ~~* BEX *~~

Haha, that's okay. I still can't get used to call you Rebecca, you ARE Bex to me : )Hmm, I'm sure I can come up with a ton of names for you, let me think about that one.

I know it wasn't originally my post but I just wanted to say those combos are fantastic. I love them. :)

I really like Conall and Conri - I had not even heard of these names until just now and they're really cool. Sullivan is another one of those surnamey names, but as far as they go, it's a nice one. Not bad, but I wouldn't use it. I would agree with you on Conri's pronunciation, but do you think Conall could be pronounced CONE-all? I have no idea, just wondering.

I love Conall. I thought it was pronounced "KAWN-uhl" too, until I listened to a book on tape this weekend. The British narrator pronounced it "COE-nuhl." His Irish accent was pretty good, so I was persuaded. But if someone else has more informaiton, my mind is still open.Conri looks insubstanial. It must be that "i" ending. Sullivan would be OK, if it was from your own family tree. I like the nn Sully.

Yeah, I saw on your poll that you put CO-nal and wondered about that. I think I like KAWN-uhl better though, haha.
