Sullivan

I love love [name]LOVE[/name] the boys name [name]Sullivan[/name] but do you think it is going to become very popular (top 100) within the next decade? I’ve been looking at lists and it seems to be getting more and more common :frowning:

I would be very surprised to see it explode that much. In 2011 it was in the 500s. Because it’s sort of long, has soft consonants, and has few really attractive nicknames, I think it will take a while. [name]Sebastian[/name] is another one of those names that’s long and has few nicknames, but has a much longer history of use and it is only at 68 right now even though I hear it all the time, more of an off-beat hipster name. You seem to think top 100 is SUPER popular, but it surprised me that even though I hear [name]Sebastian[/name] all the time, it wasn’t even top 50. Maybe you’re right, but I would be very surprised to see it jump so far.

not sure if it will reach the top 100, but it is on the rise

2011 524

2006 928
2005 927
2004 953
2003 955

[name]Sullivan[/name] is not going to become super popular anytime soon, in my opinion.
