No.

It makes me think of Gilbert &.

There are so many nice first names out there, why pick a surname?

Blursula · 30/03/2020 16:35

I love it, but my DH wouldn’t entertain it as he couldn’t get over the big blue monster in Monsters Inc. but I think Sully is great, and personally I don’t care about the meaning.

This is becoming more popular. Seen one or two on Twitter recently

Google the meaning of the word Sully. It's horrible.

It's fine if you like surnames as first names.

OchonAgusOchonO · 30/03/2020 15:43

It's a surname. I'm not against surnames as first names in general but it doesn't work as a first name for me.

BestZebbie · 30/03/2020 15:42

I agree, it isn't a bad name if you already had it, but I wouldnt use it for a new baby since monsters inc.

FaFoutis · 30/03/2020 15:41

Lovely.

TheMustressMhor · 30/03/2020 15:40

Boy or girl, OP?

TheCraicDealer · 30/03/2020 15:34

Love it. My DSis was considering Iseult nn Sully for DNeice and I still wish she'd used it!

Really don’t like it. Very Monsters Inc
