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).
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.
