I like this nickname ... what would the first name be?

DH and I like the nickname Sully

What could a first name be?  The only one we could think of is Sullivan (not a fan or it)

Would it be appropriate to just name a boy Sully?

    I've put a wee bit of thought into this as well, since I love the nickname Sully. Though I do like Sullivan

    -Sutton
    -Solomon
    -Sebastian (Ok, maybe not really, but in my mind it would work)
    -Silas

    I dont see any other names being the first name for Sully other than Sullivan...would you ever do Sullivan as the middle name...lots of nicknames are from the middle name too.

    I agree with this, and think the middle name as Sullivan is a good idea!

    I love the name Sully. I think it could be a fn by itself.

    Sullivan and Silas are the two that I know of.  I like Sully by itself.

    Why not?  If you know that you will always call him Sully, it makes more sense to name him that than to try to find a name you may or may not like that it could be a nickname for.  I think Sully is cute.  It kinda reminds me of Monsters, Inc.

    I think Solomon could work if you just called him Sully.

    I like Sullivan.

    or just call him Sully..   that works.

    That was my thought!

     

    I usually don't like nicknames as given names, but in this case I think Sully could stand fine on its own.

    sorry, i really don't like sully (it was a construction worker muppet on sesame street with  big ugly mustache!), but i am fairly certain that it's  traditionally a nn of sullivan (which i like better!).  i really think that construction worker tainted the name for me, plus it reminds of "sullen."
