Sullivan?

in Baby Names

DH and I are pretty vanilla when it comes to baby names but so far this is the only one we can agree on. I would love opinions to make sure it's not too "out there". DH loves is because he is Irish and its a very popular Iriah surname.

 

DS is Benjamin (Ben, Benny) and he would be Sully.

    I think Sullivan is adorable. I do NOT like Sully, however.

    Can't say I like it as it remindes me too much of Monsters Inc.

    I love Sullivan, but think it's kind of matchy with Benjamin.

    I love Sullivan. We had it picked out for our boy's name this time around.   Benjamin and Sullivan are a little matchy, but not so much that it should sway you if you really love it.

    This is for a boy, right?  You're not the poster who was considering Sullivan for a girl the other day, right?

    If it's for a boy, I like it. Not sure about it with brother Benjamin though, unless you usually call him Ben. Then I think it's ok with the big syllable difference.

    This, I dislike it. It's simultaneously too matchy with Benjamin (3 syllables with the same ending) and a totally different style (classic Benjamin vs trendy Sullivan).

    This! I can only picture the monster on Monsters Inc. when I hear Sullivan, especially if he's going to be called Sully! It's not a terrible association, but it's not one I'd want to have for my kid.

    I also agree with PP that it doesn't go great with Benjamin.
