My SO and I were catching up on some Master Chef last night and the chefs brought their sons in. Graham's adorable little boy (emphasis on ADORABLE) was named Conrad. I don't know if it's just that the kid was so darn cute, but I kind of like Conrad. I hadn't thought about it before. WDYT of Conrad? Combos?

Conrad is SO refreshing to hear on a little boy'! It's a nice break from the annoyingly trendy Connor, which I'm not a fan of. I've always had a thing for this name :) Conrad Leo is a nice combo, I think.

I like Conrad. I probably wouldn't actually use it, but it has an unusual sound without being too crazy. I once worked with a young Conrad who was, well, rad.

I've always kind of liked the name Conrad. Something's holding me back from liking it a lot though and I think it might be the fact that the word "rad" is in the name. It is a cool-sounding name though. Or should I say...it sounds rad, man!

I actually quite like Conrad, I like it even better spelled Konrad. I know a really nice Polish guy with this name, so that might influence my opinion a bit.

Combos:

Konrad Julian
Konrad James
Konrad George
Konrad Noah
Konrad Basil
Konrad Jeremiah

It's one of my favorites. I don't think it was just because the kid was cute that you liked it. The name is infrequent enough, and odd-shaped enough, to be striking, but ordinary enough to seem real and not take itself too seriously. Just the other day I saw a young guy working at the grocery store with Conrad on his nametag and I thought that was great. It's not really the euro-thudding name it could be, not like Richard and Aldric and Wilhelm and Sigmund and such ... it's more like Wolfgang and Otto and Leonard and Rayner.

Combos with my own favorites...

These combos are off the top off my head so they might be a bit sub-standard.
