Sullivan

[CheerfulYank]

My friend and her husband are going to name their baby this if he's a boy. Thoughts?

Taking the surname thing a step too far. Way too gimmick-y in my opinion.

Big monster in Monsters Inc (the best kids film of all time!)

Did you hear about the man with one eye??

ha ha that would so not go with my soon to be last name.

But i actually do like it

Tá a ainm súil amháin

that is all very cryptic and nonsensical I'm sure. Old Irish 'joke'.

Sullivan as a first name. I don't know, I've heard worse. But Sully is an awful nick name. Saul would make a nice name.
In fact, what about Saul??

oh, it's for your friends. Out of your hands!!

If they really had to go down that road, what's wrong with Donovan?

just reminds me of a person who didnt give me a job on very pathetic grounds. but thats just me. on the whole does sound very surnamey- not a real word i apologise.

Donovan better because Donny or Don is a much better nn

Really not to my taste- sorry!

I think it's the paternal grandmother's maiden name. I like it, personally, but it doesn't matter as it's not my name! Just wanted to know other's thoughts. Also as we're in America the surname thing isn't really a big deal. I like it much better than Carter or Parker at any rate!

I like Sully as a nn b/c of Paul Newman's character in Nobody's Fool. Pretty much anytime anything could be connected to Paul Newman, I'm on board!
