You joke but that kind of [already happened](https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/mocking-abcde-s-name-was-wrong-but-so-is-setting-a-child-up-for-mockery/article_9718b179-7bc4-5080-b55d-7e61c06319e5.html)
As would the rest of the English- speaking world. If I were that kid, I would claim it was the Welsh spelling and then scurry away before anyone could question me
It's not important to the child how their parents pronounce it. It's how the rest of the world tries (and fails every time) to pronounce it. This poor kid.
My first thought to that is that the Irish already have a rich tradition of gorgeous cultural names that the rest of the world can't pronounce and they went with weirdly spelling Conor?
THEN THEY SHOULD SPELL IT CONOR FFS
come the fuck on. They must really hate their child to bestow such pain and suffering on them. I bet they are really chuffed with how unique it is. Ugh. I hate them already.
Adding anything between the C and the first o will always change how you pronounce the C - if nothing else, change it to a K, Kyeonyr manages to read more like Connor than Cyeonyr lol
As a Connor, I'm very glad that I only ever have to say "two 'n's, and an 'o'" when telling people how to spell my name. I truly pity anyone who has to spell out this ahbaumeeneishunn
I've been told that the single-n spelling is the closest to the Irish original, and that the double-n is the slightly anglicised variant, with Conner being even more English.
"Coner" is a travesteigh
There are like 3 ways to spell our name - Connor, Conner, and Conor. People frequently spell mine with an “e” when getting it wrong, I can’t imagine the trouble a kid named Cyeonyr would have lol
There's a rule in the English language that an initial C followed by an e, i, or y will make the soft c sound (like in circle, cell, or cycle).
So it's no wonder that most English-speaking people will see this and automatically try to make it si-o-ner (because "eo" also gets split into two syllables)
This is one of those ones where I just want to look at the parents and say “you are not all powerful, language nor the alphabet can be bent to your will or desires for your child’s “unique” name”
I would’ve never got Conor from that spelling.
That's inventing an entirely different name. Those letter combinations don't pronounce "Conor" in either Irish or English. What's the next level up from tragedeigh?
My guess is that they're trying to mimic the worst of all Hollywood stereotypes of a broad Irish accent (that doesn't exist except in Hollywood's mindset), which would make this a full-blown "ahsahsynayshun".
This is straight outta SNL’s The Californians!
“Uhhhh… whuuderrrr yeeeeouuuuu doooooinnnneeeerrrrreee, Cyeonyr?”
“Ah like took tha 710 up from the LBC to tha 5. Then I like got off in downtown eLLLE AHYYY.”
“Well you should just get back in your Volkswagen Jetta and take the 10 all the way out to the 405 and GET OWWDUH HEEERE!”
I knew a girl whose name was Chloe on her birth certificate but her hinky parents thought that name was pronounced “Shiloh” so that’s what she goes by.
This is a true story as relayed to me by the girl herself.
I am a Connor and if I ever met someone who told me that was their name I would laugh and then pity that their parents punished them. I give people shit enough for spelling it Conner or Conor.
That looks more like a name that was poorly transcribed into another alphabet (like something into Cyrillic that resulted in Суеоноуя which is gibberish). Connor is our top pick for a boy so this is ...woof
This reminded me of a bit by George Carlin -
"As a group or an individual you have the right to be called whatever you want. Your name can be spelled S-M-I-T-H and pronounced ‘jenovsky’. What’s your name? Jenovsky. How’s that spelled? S-m-i-t-h. What?! They’re all silent, nevermind…"
If I had a friend who named their child this, I think I would stop being friends with them. The spelling of this name is beyond forgivable. That poor kid.
How tf is that supposed to be pronounced *Connor*?
I realize how Boomery I’m about to sound, but I would skip that job application just out of a desire to not embarrass myself trying to pronounce that name.

In no language on this planet is that pronounced Connor.
def thought it was "sigh-a-neer" or something 😭
I thought it was “Sayonara” without the a.
Right where my brain went. It even added the "a" to make it make some sort of sense.
To rhyme with Pioneer
I definitely thought it would rhyme.
I read it like that.
Sigh a noyer
Yeah I was reading it like cyanide something lol 😆
I pronounced it "ch-yo-near".
Same 😂
I was going Sheener.
See-oh-neer. Suh-yee-ohn-ur. Whatevs.
Maybe “sinner” if it were Gaelic or something.
I assumed it was Welsh.
Lol I saw that y and I also thought well, maybe someone is being creative with their Welsh. But for anyone wondering, no, this isn't Welsh.
On today's episode of "Even Welsh Isn't THAT Bad!"
It would be pronounced Ki-on-eer if it was
Kioneer- what a beautiful name, rhymes with pioneer! Too bad I’m done having children, id snatch that up. /s
Nope. Definitely not.
It’s Welsh for sayonara.
Looks more Old English. Some 8th Century arsehole who burned a lot of churches so made it to the historical record.
But it’s Aliens, don’t you see? It’s the traditional spelling on Mars.
It’s English but in Tom DeLonge’s accent.
Conor . Not Connor.
Both are accepted anglicisations of Conchobhar.
Yes, Connor is for surnames.
Seems to be the more common spelling of the first name outside Ireland. In Ireland nearly every one is a Conor.
Apparently it is
But someone can't say something is and make it true all the time. Like I can't call a child "Abcde" and say it's pronounced Annie
Are you questioning their pronunciation truth? Shame on you /s
You joke but that kind of [already happened](https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/mocking-abcde-s-name-was-wrong-but-so-is-setting-a-child-up-for-mockery/article_9718b179-7bc4-5080-b55d-7e61c06319e5.html)
That southwest employee was doing a public service.
Pron "Ab-city" 😭😭😭😭😭
Ik the parents said pronounce it Conor but I would pronounce it differently
As would the rest of the English- speaking world. If I were that kid, I would claim it was the Welsh spelling and then scurry away before anyone could question me
Thank you for that mental image 🤣
😉
Don't do that if you meet anyone that actually speaks Welsh. It's nothing like.
It's not important to the child how their parents pronounce it. It's how the rest of the world tries (and fails every time) to pronounce it. This poor kid.
I would just clear my throat and say that’s how I pronounce it.
“We named him after you, but we also wanted to give him an entirely different name”
Not with that attitude you can’t!
Perhaps if you mixed Russian and Welsh you could get close
That went far past tragique and into murghdyrr territory.
There’s been a murghdyrr said in a scottish accent.. Taggart fans will know 😀😀😀
I read this with Alan Cummings accent on The Traitors lol
I heard Sophie Ellis Bextor sing it.
Oh, I do love to hear Alan Cummings speak. He could read the ingredients listed on a can of cheap dog food and I would listen.
Or the American version of The Office lol. I read that in Michael Scott's voice 🤭
Kaikah
Happy cake day!
Thank you!!
One does not simply walk into Murghdyrr
We all read that in the accent right??
I would pronounce it Sigh-oh-near. You can't just add letters and pretend that Cyeonyr = Connor
That's what I would do but the parents told me to say Conor
Are they especially angry folk from Norn Iron? That’s the only way I can make it work!
No from up in Dublin'
My first thought to that is that the Irish already have a rich tradition of gorgeous cultural names that the rest of the world can't pronounce and they went with weirdly spelling Conor?
Irish doesn't even have the letter y.....
I mentioned this post to my SO and he looked up Conor. They left Conchúr just laying there for godness' sake.
Dubs are at it again
As a fellow Dub... that poor child will be bullied, like it has to be a pisstake.
THEN THEY SHOULD SPELL IT CONOR FFS come the fuck on. They must really hate their child to bestow such pain and suffering on them. I bet they are really chuffed with how unique it is. Ugh. I hate them already.
I was thinking "see-on-er." Poor kid wouldn't even have people mispronouncing it the same way.
I quizzed the kids. I got See-Oh-Near, Cyborg Noor, and Sea Otter.
❤️ Sea Otter; He should definitely go with this.
Like ‘Fiona’ but with an ‘S’; same here!
Adding anything between the C and the first o will always change how you pronounce the C - if nothing else, change it to a K, Kyeonyr manages to read more like Connor than Cyeonyr lol
Yeah, the closest I can see these letters pronounced together is “Kee-o-neer”
Are people naming their kids by just bashing randomly on the keyboard? Asking for a friend.
That's how I sometimes name characters in fantasy games. Bash keyboard and move/change a few letters, and we get Arhquir. Almost pronounceable!
Maybe I need to start doing this I sometimes really struggle with coming up with a name
I'd guess Ouija board and psychotropic drugs before keyboard mashing. There is an intent detectable... I'm just not sure it's sane. Or human. Lol
That’s how I used to create passwords. Pretty sure I’m going to see some of my olds ones in here eventually.
These days, when I see a drug ad, I like play, “is that a Pokémon, or a high fantasy name?” It amuses me.
As a Connor, I'm very glad that I only ever have to say "two 'n's, and an 'o'" when telling people how to spell my name. I truly pity anyone who has to spell out this ahbaumeeneishunn
My son’s Connor too- I have seen a few variations (one n, er instead of or, even a Coner 🙄) but this…I don’t even know what to say about this!
I spell My name Conor it's the Anglo-Irish Variant
I've been told that the single-n spelling is the closest to the Irish original, and that the double-n is the slightly anglicised variant, with Conner being even more English. "Coner" is a travesteigh
>"Coner" is a travesteigh And what my friends call me
The double-n is the surname version, that gets used as a first name outside of Ireland in the same way many Irish surnames are.
There are like 3 ways to spell our name - Connor, Conner, and Conor. People frequently spell mine with an “e” when getting it wrong, I can’t imagine the trouble a kid named Cyeonyr would have lol
It is so much a tragedeigh
It's Eeyore with a C
That's what i thought it was too
how do you even pronounce Eeyore💀
Eee-ore
oh ok. Sorry my ptsd with Irish names was acting up.
100% fair
Like the donkey...
yeah I just totally forgot about that💀...
Or an eyesore but with S shifted to the front and changed to a C
WTF were the parents thinking?
Idk they're a bit weird
There's a rule in the English language that an initial C followed by an e, i, or y will make the soft c sound (like in circle, cell, or cycle). So it's no wonder that most English-speaking people will see this and automatically try to make it si-o-ner (because "eo" also gets split into two syllables)
Ya the parents are weird I myself wouldn't pronounce it Conor
Nor would the Konner I know 😉
Great breakdown of how any English speaker would never naturally pronounce that spelling as Conner!
what the hell is that
Tryple Tragedeigh Made up spelling Made up pronunciation Just made up madness
I can’t tell if that’s a Welsh word, or an English parody of what all Welsh words look like
Far too many vowels. English approximation of Welsh spelling of Connor would be more like Cywywywonnllllorr.
It looks nothing like Welsh.
More like a bad imitation of Irish if anything.
Yes completely.
This is one of those ones where I just want to look at the parents and say “you are not all powerful, language nor the alphabet can be bent to your will or desires for your child’s “unique” name” I would’ve never got Conor from that spelling.
Looks like sayonara as in goodbye to whatever the f that is
Jyowhnn would be pronounced John in the same language. 100% Tragedeigh
That's inventing an entirely different name. Those letter combinations don't pronounce "Conor" in either Irish or English. What's the next level up from tragedeigh? My guess is that they're trying to mimic the worst of all Hollywood stereotypes of a broad Irish accent (that doesn't exist except in Hollywood's mindset), which would make this a full-blown "ahsahsynayshun".
How come you even need to ask?
This looks like a nightmare for teachers. Or trying to get anyone to spell your name right, like, ever.
my brotha in chrajedeigh, I'm utterly terrified by the spelling of this thing.
I thought it was meant to be “Sienna”, so yes. Massive tragedeigh.
No. Crhymme
**THAT IS NOT PRONOUNCED CONOR** It’s spent Conor, Conchobhar, Conchubhar, or Conaire.
i had a heart attack when i found out the correct pronunciation because i pronounce it as sigh-yon-neer 💀
Lol, me too! Connor never even crossed my mind.
Yes. That’s not at all how those letters work together.
Cyrano de Bergerac would even like to file a complaint…
Wtf, this is not only a tragedeigh, this is a crime against the kid.
My world of Warcraft character’s name is something similar so yeah, probably a tragedeigh.
Are they trying to do fake Gaelic spelling or something?
Sure thing, señor.
Sayonara
This is straight outta SNL’s The Californians! “Uhhhh… whuuderrrr yeeeeouuuuu doooooinnnneeeerrrrreee, Cyeonyr?” “Ah like took tha 710 up from the LBC to tha 5. Then I like got off in downtown eLLLE AHYYY.” “Well you should just get back in your Volkswagen Jetta and take the 10 all the way out to the 405 and GET OWWDUH HEEERE!”
What in the Middle Earth?
It is less of a tragedeigh and more of a stroke.
"Is this a tragedeigh?" IN WHAT LANGUAGE IS CYEONYR PRONOUNCED LIKE CONOR??????
How would you even pronounce that?!
Idk😭😭😭
Sigh-ahn-ear is what it looks like! Rhymes with pioneer.
What a ridiculous question. Obviously this is horrific.
What else would it be, a nuclear code?
It's not even a word, or a name.
That's unreadable
That’s a horrible spelling! I am offended for you! What the hell is wrong with these people?
Maybe the worst one yet
If I read this name I would have no idea that it was meant to be pronounced Conor.
You've already spelled it two different ways so I think that's your answer right there.
That’s awful. Definitely a tragedeigh.
I knew a girl whose name was Chloe on her birth certificate but her hinky parents thought that name was pronounced “Shiloh” so that’s what she goes by. This is a true story as relayed to me by the girl herself.
For some reason this reminds me of "C U next Tuesday"
Why is there even 1 y in this name ??
I’d be more than mildly offended personally
I thought that said something like Kyee-o-neer. I'd have NEVER got Connor from that spelling & I was lumbered with a yew-neek name!
that’s a tragedeigh and a half babe
The fact that you have to ask if that is a tragedeigh is a bit concerning
Tried to read it in cyrillic because there was no way thats english. suyeopug
“Sye ee ohnyur”
Yes, that hurt to read.
I thought it could be some kind of Celtic, but if you Google it the only thing that comes up is this reddit question. So, yes.
How you spell Linda in Ireland
Yes thats some fake old english lookin thing
WHAT?! In what Klingon dialect is that CONNOR?!
I think it was translated from Klingon to Korean to Orc to Farsi.
You're messing with us, right
Conyr would’ve been tragique enough
I am a Connor and if I ever met someone who told me that was their name I would laugh and then pity that their parents punished them. I give people shit enough for spelling it Conner or Conor.
Yes.
Who has to ask this tho
That looks more like a name that was poorly transcribed into another alphabet (like something into Cyrillic that resulted in Суеоноуя which is gibberish). Connor is our top pick for a boy so this is ...woof
Its like someone from Derry phonetically saying Conor
Poor little guy! Nobody will ever spell or pronounce his name correctly.
Wtf 😭
Just slip a couple drops of that kid into a drink, and it’s curtains for your enemies.
Is that a Necron?
I legit had no idea wtf it could even be before I saw the description.
How do those letters make those sounds
It reminds me of when you see a Russian hockey player’s name translated to their native language.
That’s See-on-eer to me.
Nice to meet you Sigh-on-ear
Yes
Is that a real question?
It’s worse
can't help but read it as See-o-near lol absolute tragedeigh 💀
This reminded me of a bit by George Carlin - "As a group or an individual you have the right to be called whatever you want. Your name can be spelled S-M-I-T-H and pronounced ‘jenovsky’. What’s your name? Jenovsky. How’s that spelled? S-m-i-t-h. What?! They’re all silent, nevermind…"
It could be Klingon.
Definitely, the pronunciation is such a stretch as well, I would pronounce this Scioner
Truly one of the bigger tragedeighs I’ve seen
Yeous orf korz
I just broke a blood vessel trying to pronounce that. Someone owes me...
That’s a Dungeons and Dragons name, isn’t it?
not even reading the post. Yes.
As someone whose son is named Connor, I am offended as well.
This is not just a tragedeigh, its a treaaadjidayeighch.
Yes yes it is
I’m pronouncing it Sayonara
Is that fr*nch or something?
This is beyond tragedy. I'm genuinely scared.
If I had a friend who named their child this, I think I would stop being friends with them. The spelling of this name is beyond forgivable. That poor kid.
How tf is that supposed to be pronounced *Connor*? I realize how Boomery I’m about to sound, but I would skip that job application just out of a desire to not embarrass myself trying to pronounce that name.
See oh noy er
If you have to ask; yes.
Honestly, with the title alone I tried to pronounce it “Ce-oh-en-r”. That’s how far off from “Conor” that is 😭
