    • I call my husband Connor “Connifer” and “Conniferous” , a play on him being tall and strong like a conifer tree. He much prefers it to his sisters’ calling him “Connie” all his life. He’s adopted it as his gaming aliases and it caught on with his brother and friends, who tease that when he trips and falls he goes down like a tree!

  7. Why am I low-key dissapointed that Connor Murphy isn’t listed as one of the fictional characters with this name?
    Anywho, I use ‘Connie’ and ‘Conn’ when writing. For whatever reason, Google Spellcheck doesn’t seem to recognize “Connor” as the proper spelling, it’s always auto correcting to “Conner”.
