Here is what I wrote on your Boys Names Vid; "I'm from Ulster, many years ago. recently I got a Hungarian Vizsla puppy for my son and called the puppy Connor. A good old Ulster name - I understand it means lover of hounds. I really enjoyed you channel. Ireland is one people, one nation, one heritage." If I had seen this vid in January, It would have been in time to correctly name the puppy.

For your information "groot" is Dutch for large, but it's not pronounced as you did. Double o in Dutch is pronounced (usually and in this case) as a long o and gr is pronounced with a guteral g. Then there is the word "reus", where the r is a rolling r and eu is kind of pronounced as "uh". I'm actually not sure what word you tried to pronounce since it sounded a bit like "greus" or something. Reus means giant and groot means large.
