Really don’t like it. Very Monsters Inc

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

TheMustressMhor · 30/03/2020 15:40

Boy or girl, OP?

FaFoutis · 30/03/2020 15:41

Lovely.

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.

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.

helpmum2003 · 30/03/2020 15:43

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

perfumeistooexpensive · 30/03/2020 15:56

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

dementedma · 30/03/2020 15:58

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

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.

MrsSteveMcDonald · 30/03/2020 16:38

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

Ellmau · 30/03/2020 16:56

It makes me think of Gilbert &.

user1493494961 · 30/03/2020 16:58

No on many levels!

lamppostdog · 30/03/2020 17:32

Anyone remember watching The Sullivan's ?

whatausername · 30/03/2020 17:50

I think of The Unsullied. Sullivan I find kind of...wet? I can't think of a better way to explain it atm.

Toomboom · 30/03/2020 17:58

It's a surname, not a first name!!

MikeUniformMike · 30/03/2020 18:29

No. Sully isn't very nice.

dorisrainbow · 30/03/2020 18:31

elQuintoConyo · 30/03/2020 18:32

Ugly, to be frank.

Frank - now there's a name!
