without confirming it by doing any name research, my impression is that Conor is the way Irish people spell it as a first name (based mostly on Maeve Binchy books!) while Connor is a last name. It's a big name for boys where I live (Boston area) and I've seen it both Conor and Connor. To me, Conner looks like a misspelling - - or that it's being picked up by parents who like the sound but may not have any link to the Irish-ness of the name.
