Personality
Connor doesn't have as much personality in the original The Secondary School Choir. However, starting from Out Of Nowhere, he is starting to show more character. He can get shocked easily as shown in 'Zero Effect' when he is about to turn 5 in the 15th of March stating that he was born on the 15th of March 2004. He is also shown to be hopeful stating that he hopes to defeat the Liverpool team in 'Bad Luck.' He is also smart. Connor also shows appreciation to his friends as shown in 'Boy Bands.' He also tends to be curious like most of the choir as shown in 'My Better Half.' He also gets bored easily like Blake in 'Right On The Job.' In 'New Year,' he stated that he looks ridiculous in a kilt, it is like how boys think they look ridiculous in skirts or dresses. Like many teenagers, he tends to get teenage mood swings.

Etymology
His first name, Connor is an Irish male given name, anglicised from the compound Irish word "Conchobhar", meaning "Lover of wolves” or “Lover of hounds”. Its popularity likely derived from the name of Conchobar mac Nessa, a semi-legendary king of Ulster in Dál Riata described in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology.

His middle name, Samuel is a male given name and a surname of Hebrew origin meaning either "name of God" or "God heard" (שם האלוהים Shem HaElohim) (שמע אלוהים Sh'ma Elohim). Samuel was the last of the ruling judges in the Old Testament. He anointed Saul to be the first King of Israel and later anointed David.

His other middle name, John is a Hebrew baby name. In Hebrew Baby Names the meaning of the name John is: Jehovah has been gracious; has shown favour. In the bible John the Baptist baptised Christ in the Jordan river. Variants have been created in almost every language.

His last name, Ball is named after his actor's last name.

Abilities
Connor is a tenor in the choir. He is also good at rapping even though in 'Double Trouble,' Calum said that he sounds like he is rapping in Gaelic.
