Conrad

For some reason when this name is spelled with "C" and I see it at a quick glance my mind reads "comrade".

Cute name!

I prefer the K spelling: Konrad. This one looks even dated.

I've always liked this name. It is friendly.

Other than the name Silvester, this is my favorite name for a boy! It's very classy, and sounds strong.

When I see this name I feel rather neutral about it. On one hand I like that it is short and uncommon. On the other hand it just seems a little too unusual for my taste, but that's just personal aesthetics. On a one to ten, I would rate this a seven.

Sounds very aristocratic and white. Not a fan.

An old man name, and just not appealing at all. Not even as a pet name, except maybe for a turtle.

It's a really nice name. Really underrated.

I've noticed that this name is getting pretty popular among other people who are really into names. It appears on a lot of lists of people whose taste is similar to mine. I can't warm up to it, though. It looks & sounds like an acronym for a government program or military initiative to me.

Hi there! I love the name Conrad, when I went to school here in New Zealand I was the only Conrad and only Morganty! I always thought it was a great name and still do! Lol lately I'm hearing more of my name used! And it's funny, I do have brown hair and green eyes!

I LOVE this name, mostly thanks to Shannon Hale's novel "The Goose Girl." It sounds light, energetic, and happy to me. I also don't see how anyone would misspell or mispronounce this... it's pretty straightforward.

As far as shortenings go, my family chose "Rad." Being born in 1982, it was awkward for a young kid. As an adult, I have been told that I am "the only white Conrad I have ever met," by many people. I find that strange due to the German origin of the name. But then again, slavery.

I think Conrad is a neat name! It's handsome, solid, strong and masculine. I love this name! :D.

This is a surname that should never be a first name. It's weird to say and use as a first name. Sounds like a geek.

Sounds a bit too close to "nimrod".

Sounds like a tough Russian guy's name. But that's just me.

It's definitely not a favorite, but it is a decent name.

My name is Konrad. Please don't name your child this. People rarely spell/pronounce it correctly when hearing it for the first time and will just use "Connor" or any other "easy" variant instead. And expect lots of confused expressions on others' faces when they hear it. At least for me it was an awful way to grow up. Definitely not a self-confidence-builder for a child.

I think of a strong, mysterious, sexy guy with blondish-brown hair and green eyes. I have never met a Conrad, this is a cool name. I like this name a little better than Connor, that's pretty common.

A good nickname is Connor.

The name sounds quite harsh and old-fashioned, like some elitist and snobby name from a long time ago. I like the nickname Con for it, but I'd rather spell it Conn. I'd rather not use this name at all, as the second syllable ruins it.

I really like the name, but unfortunately the only feasible nicknames seem to be Con or Connie, which are much too feminine for my tastes.

Sorry but I just don't like this name. It sounds cold and hard. I know one of man with name and he isn't very nice at all.

I hate to say it but this name makes me think of a mustached man in the 1800's with a big military hat on.

This is a very unique name. I know someone with this name, and when I first heard it I thought it was his nickname, but I was wrong. A great name if you are looking for something different.

I love this name because it sounds strong, which is a good factor in boy's names, but it also sounds intelligent and thoughtful. It makes me think of a hawk.

This is actually my last name. It seemed weird when I was younger and started to see that it was used more commonly as a first name, but I still like it. I did, however, always know it was German. I'm German-Irish, and when I was young I asked my dear mutter about my name. The rest is Irish just because that's what she wanted my name, but that's how I know "Conrad" is German.

I like this name. Of course I have to hear it or say it every day. That's my boyfriend's name, but he never told me that it was a German/English name and I would have never thought that.

This is a neat sounding name. I'd never think it was a German/English name.
