I prefer Conor. Calum hasn’t specifically got a bad sound to it, just the whole name put together I dislike. Conor is boring but I can live with it.

I prefer the Conor meaning - lover of hounds. My cousin is obsessed with dogs so it would be great if Conor was something my aunt considered for her if she was a boy.

I would spell them Connor and Callum because that’s my preferred spelling, but it really depends on the person and where they are from maybe so I don’t think that would be a problem.

I’ve known a Conor and a Callum so that’s what I think of. I don’t remember much about Conor/Connor (I’m not sure how he spelt his name) but Callum was this clever kid I went to school with who had auburn sort of hair, freckles and was great at gymnastics. Another Callum I think of is from the book noughts and crosses by Malorie Blackman. I’ve not read the whole book but from what I did read he was quite a vulnerable character. Also the names give me the same kinda impression aside from those associations.

I’m from the UK and I pronounce Calum with two syllables.

Also I could see people wanting to use these as girls names in the future.
