I’ve met 2 baby Sullivan’s recently. 1 boy and 1 girl. Both were called Sully as a nick name. I’m not sure I like Sully as a name because of the meaning of the word sully. Obviously people are choosing the name because of the giant blue monster from Monsters Inc. Seems like a trendy name but also kind of dated in relation to the character and the movie being over 20 years old.

Sullivan can be a female name. I know a little girl named this, and her nickname is Sully. (I feel sorry for her.)

I like the name Sullivan but it’s kind of trendy (being a popular last name) and it is a mouthful to say. Also I’ve noticed when I mentioned using the name for a boy other people have said they know girls named Sullivan. Apparently there have been 2 celebrities who named their daughters Sullivan...what!? It just doesn’t sound feminine at all to me. It’s a nice name but I’m not using it, at least for now. Will always love James P Sullivan.

I love this name but that's because it's my brother's name. It fits him well and he is small and darker than the rest of us. But I think it'd be nice on many people. It has a lot of good nicknames, Sully, Sul (I call him Sal), Ivan (we never call him this).

I like Sullivan, like Solomon and Jackson, a last name could work as a first name as well.

One of my cousins named their newborn son this. It's not my favorite name. I mainly think of it as a surname or the big blue guy from Monster's inc.

I do like the name Sullivan. I mainly enjoy it for the nickname Sully, which I think it really cute! I like the name Sullivan because it reminds me of something I would name a pet! And I love animals! I also love “pet names” on children.

Always been sort of neutral towards it, as it's my surname. However, I think it's a bit heavy sounding, and not really all that fit to be a first name.

This name has a nice ring to it, like Donovan.

There should actually be two Ls in the original form of this name: Súilleabhán, Ó Súilleabháin. The second L comes from the D in _dubh_, for what it's worth: _súil_ 'eye' + _dubh_ 'black, dark' + _-án_ (a diminutive ending). [noted -ed]

This sucks as a first name. It sounds pretentious, yet not very high class.

The translation is faulty, but the form is accurate:
