If you saw this boys name written somewhere, how would you pronounce it?

The name is Konor.

If you saw this boys name written somewhere, how would you pronounce it?
it's just a different spelling of the name Connor

Reply:Here's a basic phonetics lesson:





When a vowel is followed by one consonant and then another vowel, the first vowel is long (KOH-nor). If the consonant is doubled, then the first vowel is short (KON-nor). This is the reason many people rhyme it with donor (single consonant, see?).





Personally, I prefer "C" to "K" but you do have good reason for the nontraditional spelling. I think you should try to get as close to traditional spelling as possible to avoid a lifetime of explaining, spelling, pronouncing. Stay with the "K", it'll just make you look trendy but double the "N". That way it's one explanation instead of two.





Good luck.
Reply:Just like connor right? Con-nor or I guess Kon-or How would you say it? curious cuz my sons name is Connor and I never thought of spelling it with a K, but I like it
Reply:After looking at it, I would pronounce it as Connor.





At first glance, I wanted to pronounce it as Ko-NOR (Ko to rhyme with No, and emphasis on Nor.
Reply:I'd pronounce it Connor. You could always go with Konnor if people honest to God can't figure it out lol :)

But I don't like the name Connor %26amp; I really don't care for this spelling of it, as it reminds me of Knorr's Foods. If you're going for a weird way to spell Connor, how about:





Konnor


or


Kahner
