    I work in a call center and the odd time I've taken calls from people with this name who clearly arent travellers.In the States there was the actor Chuck Connors and tennis player Jimmy,neither of whoem lived on a halting site as far as I know.How common is the name among the general population?

    You know Blacky Connors isn't the father of all travellers, don't you?

    Was on the dart this morning and 2 travelling people got on. Their surname was Connors. I know because they were challenging someone to a fight on the other end of the phone. Culture eh?

    Why only Connors?? Why not throw Joyce, McDonagh and Ward in the mix?

    The Terminator has a thing for people with the surname Connor.

    Channel 4 are thinking of making a show called Big Fat Gypsy Terminations where Arnie visits halting sites to settle fueds by terminating people.
