Sibling for Sullivan

33 replies

Hi all. We have a Sullivan - marmite on here but in real life seems to be very positively received. To my face, anyway...

Expecting number two now, we won't find out the sex so names for both girls and boys are needed.

I think we are pretty much sorted for a girl, we both love Juniper with Juno/Juni for a nickname.

Boys names are proving a challenge! I'm not sold on another surname necessarily, but do want the names to go together reasonably well. Any suggestions?

I like Ayrton too, but then I always did have a pash on Ayrton Senna.

I have a friend in the UK with a 4 year old Huckleberry, he's gorgeous.

Obviously biased as Lachlan is my offering but don't be afraid to use Huck!

You're the only other poster I've known about that has a Sullivan, over here his name goes down a storm and I've only had "wow that's a great name" as a response.

SenseiWoo - I'll try to, but you've got a 6 month wait!

Anderson and Lachlan are looking good so far. Also really like Lorcan.

I have a ridiculous soft spot for Huckleberry (Huck). But I don't think I'm actually brave enough!

Thanks everyone, there are some great names on here!

Some I absolutely love, but we have a tricky surname so they don't work, but there are plenty that do.

Now to present them to DH!
