Connor?

I posted the other day about "Elliot" but DH insists he likes Connor more now. (He hated it a couple weeks ago...)
I really like the name Connor; but I hate that it's so popular.
Other names on our list are: Troy, Tent & Vinson. None of which we like as much as Connor.
Anyone have any thoughts on Connor? Or additional suggestions?
I'd really like some fresh ideas that are somewhat-similar to Connor, go well with Hunter (DS) and aren't incredibly popular.
TIA!

7DPO Progesterone: low. CD3 BW: normal, HSG: clear
DX: severe MFI (low all 3) and low T. Undergoing replacement therapy.
Lol. Totally meant Trent and not Tent. haha Sorry!
Haha! I had totally thought of this which is why it's so far down on my name list; for some reason, DH loves it...I would much prefer Vincent rather than Vinson but DH just won't go for it.
O14 January Signature Challenge: Snow Fails
I really like Connor! I didn't actually know any until my nephew was born in March and was named that.
Suggestions: Graham, Grant, Hugh, Chandler, Micah, Grady
Graham and Grant are actually on our list as well!! DH can't decide on them though...sigh. I really like them both but convincing DH of anything is seeming to be more and more impossible. I've mentioned Chandler and Micah before, both of which DH hate. -__-
My son is Connor.
mummyofsix (who posted above) is a friend of mine so my Connor was one of the bazillion Connors she knew who was born in that time period. She is the only person I know with that experience.
I know of a few Connors (a friend from college who is on my FB feed has a Connor, for example) and there is one other in my current neighborhood, but I don't hear it that often. There hasn't been any other little ones named Connor in DS's music or swim classes. On the other hand, my DD Katherine ALWAYS (always!!!) is "Kate Q" because of other little girls named Katherine/Kate/Katie.
The name Connor, generally speaking, has been falling in popularity over the past few years. It is not a climber so you won't hear it getting MORE popular over the next few years. It isn't top 50 right now and will probably never be top 10.
I think you just need to see how popular it is for YOU. I can totally understand avoiding a name that feels tired in your social circle. For me, I love the name William but EVERY.SINGLE. BABY born in my social circle right now is William or Henry. Or William Henry.
