For a baby that has a lot to say, Conan is a smart choice. You might be most familiar with talk show host Conan O'Brien, but this Irish name also means "hound” or “wolf," making it perfect for a little one who likes to make lots of noise when the moon is high. It's the Anglicized form of the Celtic name Conán, which was the name of a member of the legendary group of warriors in Irish myth, the Fianna. Conan also means "high” or “exalted,” showing baby just how much potential they have.
