I normally like more classic names but for some reason I'm taken with Sullivan.

Has anyone used it/know one/have an opinion on it?

Doubt I'm having a boy anyway as this is dc4 and all the others are girls but good to be prepared!

For some reason I have never made the link that it is a surname! Or thought about monsters Inc! 😂

Absolutely love it, it was my top choice for one of my sons but dh preferred a different name.

Mine too! We went for Emerson in the end.

Just no!

I just think of Sully from Monsters Inc - sorry!

Love it!!

I know 4 under 10 all go by Sully and everytime I come into contact with them I immediately think of the monster from monsters inc.

I think you can get away with using some surnames as first names. This isn't one of them.

StopFeckingFaffing · 08/06/2023 22:09

Sorry but agree with others that it is a surname and not one that I've ever heard being used as a first name either

GoodVibesHere · 08/06/2023 22:06

I don't like it sorry. It's a surname, and to me comes across as a bit random, like naming a child Morrison, or Patterson.

Smith, Jones or Robinson for a girl??

PyjamasToMyLeft · 08/06/2023 21:53

I like it a lot (despite being old enough to remember The Sullivans).

I think of it as a surname, not a first name. Sully could be cute though.
