Not bad as far as surnames as firsts go. Idk where you're located but there are a lot of "Sullivan" connections in Iowa because there were 5 brothers from here who were all killed together during WW2 when their naval ship went down - which is why you can't be drafted if you've lost a sibling in battle. It may never come up if you don't live nearby, but it's something to consider.
Our puppy is named Sullivan and we call him Sully. So, I like the name, but now just think of an adorable fuzz ball! ;-) I will say that I did consider if I'd ever use it for a son before I gave the name to the dog. It's a family (last) name. The answer was "no" because I think it sounds like a cute boys name, but not a man's name. That's just my opinion and I do like the name! I also like the nickname "Van" from it.
I really like Sullivan. Not a fan of Sully. The definition of the word of sully is pretty dang negative and not something I'd want to stick on my child. If someone called "Hey Sully, come here!" at the playground I'd be hearing "Hey Pollute/Defile/Spoil, come here!" It's not a word that people use in every day conversation, so you could probably get away with it, but I'd come up with some other nicknames.
I personally like it. It was my maiden name and I gave it to DS1 as his mn. If you both like the name, go for it! I have seen other kids with that name too (around age 7).
Re: Sullivan Michael - opinions please!

Edited for punctuation.
Or maybe my mind just wanders too much. Anyway I'm not really a fan of Sullivan as a FN
