It's 'Conor' not 'Connor'
 
Not to be pedantic or anything but it's:

'Conor' and not 'Connor'
'Arron' and not 'Aaron'
'Ashleigh' and not 'Ashley'
'Deana' and not 'Deena'

It's just it irritates me a little when people repeatedly spell the names of the housemates wrong, and it's been particularly evident with Conor - even the petition wanting to get him out was spelt 'Connor', which seemed a bit silly to me. Does this bother anyone else too, when the names are spelt wrong?

Ok, little rant over. I do apologize :blush:

The fact that Arron spells his name like that bothers me more tbh

Saph 28-06-2012 03:04 PM

Yes I find it annoying! and Deena is Deana to.

It's not his fault! Poor Arron! :tongue:

Cherie 28-06-2012 03:05 PM

easily solved, just call them Shrek, Shrek's friend and Trampy...simple. But I know what you mean I have a son called Conor and it is annoying when people spell it Connor.:bawling:

Patrick 28-06-2012 03:06 PM

I remember my mate Conor smacked someone for spelling his name with 2 N's instead of 1 :laugh:

Good point, i've added it to the initial post :)

alex_front2 28-06-2012 03:06 PM

Imho Arron should spell it like last years winner and I refuse to spell Siobhan anyway other than this. Her parents should not have bastardised the name.

Haha one of my closest friends is called Conor as well and he gets so angry when teachers spell his name with two 'n's. Who spells Conor like 'Connor' anyways? :bored:

Jords 28-06-2012 03:09 PM

lmao I see so many people put Deena

Munchkins 28-06-2012 03:11 PM

Yes!.
It's one of my biggest pet peeves, it's just so annoying

Its the English spelling of Conor which of course is an Oirish name and means lover of hounds....yes it does..we can see that Conor is taking his name very seriously as I think he has a crush on Trampy.:joker:

Sorry RALPH, I get mixed up sometimes hardly innit.

Mystic Mock 28-06-2012 05:00 PM

Conor doesn't deserve any respect tbh so I might just call him Rooney from now on.

Conor, Conner, Arron, Aaron.... it's all irrelevant, they should call them tweedle dee, tweedle dum, and their friend Luke S... well he could be....

Haha yea that was who I was trying to remember... Now Science would defo shake that little group up...

ElProximo 28-06-2012 06:03 PM

I blame the parents. If anything I'm going to make a special point of spelling the names 'Connor' and so on.
If the variation is has a legit cultural purpose (some gaelic reason) then I can accept that. Otherwise, You have to discuss with your parents why your name is spelled wrong. Why they did that to you. What kind of annoying thing they were thinking etc.

Raph 12-07-2012 06:55 PM

Bump as I've seen Conor being spelt 'Connor' enough for one day! :tongue:

I was just going to say that. Shievonne is the silliest spelling of Siobhan I have ever seen!
