And yes, it was originally a fan name. That guide is a fan-made guide (all of them are unless they are official) and they used that name for whatever reason...

I personally hate the name, but I fear that Sanzaru will use it in the game. If they do, a lot of people will be mad, if they use a different name (like Sam or something) all of the Conner lovers will be mad.

So no, Conner isn't his name as of Sly 3 being released.
