I somewhat like the name Condon/Kondon for a boy, however, my husband thinks it's too close to the word condom.

I think it's too close. Condom was my first thought when I saw the name.

I immediately thought of Condom as well. After that association passed, I thought of Condone and Condor. Not great. Sorry, but I'd stay away from this. It sounds like you are looking for an unusual name, so here are some similar-sounding alternatives that you might like:

Callum
Calvin
Carlisle
Charleston
Charleton
Clayton
Clifton
Colton
Corbin
Courtland
Crispin
Cullen
Keaton
Keegan
Kellan
Kenton

That's what I was afraid of.

I totally agree with your husband. I wouldn't do it.

I agree with your husband - it's just asking for name-calling. (The word condor also comes to mind, which isn't the most flattering association, either).

Here are some similar-sounding ideas:

Calder
Caden
Colton
Carver
Cannon
Carlin
Coleman
Corbett

I agree with your DH. Too close, especially when he reaches his teens.
