The Birth of 'ConBro'
I remember getting really into YouTube around the end of 2016. I would always be watching the same YouTubers whilst simultaneously finding new ones and just taking in all of the content. I remember seeing how much fun and how cool they were, and I wanted to be like them.
The first channel name I created was a bit of a weird journey to get there. I was reading a joke book with funny names, like someone with a goatee having the name 'Goa. T' or something dumb like that. I ended up coming up with 'Conor.B.Kool'. I thought I was real clever for this, and in hindsight I have no idea why I used a K for 'cool' but I mean, I was 11. This was my username on everything but I got bored of it real quick, so I created a new channel. But now I had to come up with a new name
The first of which was 'ConorYT' (Conor being my name and YT being short for 'YouTube'). Simple and easy, I thought it worked. I uploaded to that channel for a while but in 2018 I started to not feel so happy with what I was putting on there, and so I created a new channel.
(side note, you can find ConorYT with this link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Tsjqg9p_Mko9zaVujwCSA)
But at this point I was so out of original names for a new channel and I wasn't sure what I wanted it to be. I experimented with a bunch of names that include 'Conor' in it. At the time I called all my friends my 'bros'. I decided to mesh my name with this word and created ConBro. I have no idea how people started calling me this, I think someone found my channel and started calling me ConBro and it just caught on. To this day, I still don the nickname ConBro, and although all my socials now say Conor Cayley, anyone who is close to me knows me well as ConBro, and will rarely call me Conor. They usually call me the ginger ninja.
