In a Name

Name:            Connor Thomas

         Connor:  The name Connor has celtic/gaelic origins; a common Scottish name, it 
                          comes from Conchobhar (Conchobar), meaning: the chief of men, powerful
                          among men, a leader. Literature about the origin of names tells us that
                          Connor means "wise", "highly desired" and "strong willed."

         Thomas:  Named after Saint Thomas More (7 Feb 1478 - 6 July 1535) an English
                           lawyer, author, statesman and later Catholic martyr chiefly remembered
                           for his principled refusal to accept King Henry VIII's claim to be the
                           supreme head of the Church of England, a decision which ended his 
                           political career and led to his execution as a traitor. "...but I say that the
                           faithful subject is more bound to his conscience and his soul more than
                           anything else in the world..." T. More
                          "Nie hätte ich daran gedacht, einer Sache zuzustimmen, die gegen mein 
                           Gewissen gewesen wäre."

         We hope that Connor, with his strong will, when making decisions uses his wisdom,
         while remaining steadfast to his principles and holding true to his conscience.
