Sylvester

[Shemozzle]

Dp suggested this and I'm not entirely sure if he was being serious or not. But just wondered what other people thought. I laughed at first but it's since grown on me exponentially. I've discovered that Sully was a popular nickne for Sylvester when it was a commonplace name, which makes it all the more appealing.

[AlleyCatandRastaMouse]

Not for me.

[Destinysdaughter]

The Cat?

You make me feel mighty real?

The weird TV presenter?

Just off the top of my head.

Not a great choice OP - tell your DH

[Strokethefurrywall]

I love the name Sylvester personally, I have a Sullivan and his nickname is Sully. Or Van as he calls himself due to being 2 and unable to say his own name!!

[MitzyLeFrouf]

No.

[MrsLeighHalfpenny]

Also No. With a capital N.

[Shemozzle]

strokethefurrywall (great film btw) the idea of having a Sully is now so appealing that I've really warmed to Sullivan too.

Those that are stating an outright no, do you mind giving me a few of your favourites? Everyone is so different and I just think I'm better having the opinion of people who think similarly to me.

[Shemozzle]

destiny which was the weird TV presenter?!

[Destinysdaughter]

Sylvester McCoy

[Destinysdaughter]

However you're probably much younger than me so these cultural references don't mean much to you!

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

It's a no from me, sorry

[SleepyRoo]

Stallone

[ThirtyNineWeeks]

Love it.

[Out2pasture]

it's interesting
the only Sylvester I know would be S. Stallone so not a bad connection at all :)
I would consider it depending on the last name and those of siblings etc.

[mrsschu]

Sylvester the cat or Sylvester Stallone. I'd fine it hard to take someone with the name Sylvester seriously. So a big no from me.

[DontKillMyVibe]

No to Slyvester. Awful.

Love Sullivan though!

[MamaLazarou]

Sylvester is a lovely name.... For a cat.

[SwedishEdith]

I did lol when read the tread title.

[MagpieCursedTea]

I like it but Sylvester McCoy is my favourite doctor so that might be influencing me.

[cheesylover]

I love it but wouldn't dare use it (especially as our surname begins with S, he would really sound like a cartoon character!). I like the nn Sully and love the meaning behind Sylvester - think it's "of the forest"?

[mollie123]

diminutives of Sylvester - Sly and Fester/Vester
I would see 'Sully' as a diminutive of Sullivan (which I do like )

[OneMagnumisneverenough]

I like it, I know one in his early teens. Lovely boy. He is always Sylvester though. It doesn't get shortened.

[Nataleejah]

Sorry but horrible

[Coldtoeswarmheart]

Blimey. No.

[Olbersparadox]

Sylvester Stallone
Don't do it
