Name Sighting

BananaLettuceBananaLettuce member

Conall

It was on the name tag of a maybe 16 yo guy at my pharmacy.

It's Gaelic for "strong wolf."
Like it? Hate it?

I like it, but I tend to really like Gaelic names with cool meanings.

3 failed matches in 2012.
Surprise pregnancy in Aug. 2012.
Precious baby boy "HC" born May 2013.
Began researching EA in 2014.
No longer pursuing EA due to fibroid complications.
Officially on the adoption home study wait list.

    It's ok. I'm not a fan of most Gaelic names nor names that start with Con. Not sure why but I just don't like the sound of it.

    At first glance and pronunciation I did not like it. But I love the meaning. Not sure which way to go on this one.
    I've had the same struggle with a name I like, "Keir" but it means "little dark one". lol

    I don't know if I am saying it correctly, but I don't love it.

    I would pronounce it CON uhl (wish there was a way to type a schwa). Like Donald with a C at the beginning and no D at the end

    Thanks! That was pretty close to what I was saying. I think I was giving it more of an AL than an uhl, but it's definitely better with the "uhl".
