Expecting a baby comes with its fair share of questions, ponderings, and emotions.
One of the biggest questions? What to name your baby!
When you think about it, a name is a pretty big deal. So it’s a no-brainer for people to spend tons of time searching Google for the best first name for their babies.
However, when you take a lot of time looking for a first name, you tend to skim over the middle name a bit.
That’s why I’ve been putting together my How To Pick A Middle Name series. So with a quick glance, you can find the perfect middle name for your son!
Without any further ado, here are the best middle names for a boy named Connor.
I‘ve compiled these from baby name databases, parent discussion forums, and other sources, then whittled them down to the ones I personally think sound the best.
Hope it helps!
