Is Donovan and Sullivan too much as a sibset? Picking a boy name is so hard!

I think so, I'm sorry. I really like both names though. Maybe you could use whichever name you didn't use yet as the middle name. :)

we have a Donovan and we just can't seem to agree on a name for this boy. it's ridiculous!

[ironqueen.livejournal.com]

Here's a site with Irish boy names. Maybe you'll like one of them and use Sullivan as a middle name if you want.

I think it is a little too much, yeah. Whenever I try to say them together fast I try to make them rhyme in my mind, and then end up with Dullivan and Sullivan. But maybe I'm just weird.

ohh i disagree...girl names are much harder to come up with! At least in our case! lol

but i do agree with other comments...it does seem like a bit much

[sunleap.livejournal.com]

if we were having a girl it would be hard in a different way. i would have to many to choose from. we have nothing for a boy. i saw sullivan and thought it was cute but as a sibset with Donovan it might be Van overload!

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Yeah...I have to agree with the other ones, I think they're a little too much as well.

And if it were me, I'd go with Donovan!

[sunleap.livejournal.com]

We already have our Donovan! We just can't seem to find a name for our boy due in April.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Haha oh I'm sorry, I misunderstood then...I like the name Donovan!

[jordiss.livejournal.com]

Too much van.

[sunleap.livejournal.com]

this is what i thought. i just wanted to see if it was just me. but it doesn't look like it!

[krysteener.livejournal.com]

I love both names but yeah, they're too matchy/rhymey.

I know you didn't ask for suggestions, but I was curious to see what Nymbler.com would come up with if I put in Donovan and Sullivan:

Rourke
Declan
Wylie
Colin
Darby
Riley
Connor
Finley
Reagan
Duncan
Aiden
Brendan
Caleb
Sean
Dominic
Quinlan
Brady

[sunleap.livejournal.com]

I'm always open for suggestions! I love the name Declan but husband hates it. says it sounds and looks made up. We like Reagan but associate it with a girl because of the Exorcist!

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

hmm. kind of. i think they're just too similar. i like sullivan a lot though.

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

definitely too much. sorry.

[chirpygirly.livejournal.com]

I too think they're too similar, and I know you didn't ask for suggestions, but I have some, hope you don't mind.

Clifton - nn Cliff
Heathcliff - nn Heath or Cliff
Kendrick - nn Ken or Rick
Ludano - nn Lou, Dan, Dano
Theodin - nn Theo

I don't think it's too much at all. They're both very nice names, they're siblings... I don't see anything wrong with this pair. :)

[tiarrajanae.livejournal.com]

I like them together.

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

Too matchy. I like Donovan, which I see from other comments is already a son's name, but I don't really care for Sullivan anyway.

Suggestions:
Dana
Timothy
Rhodri
Rupert
Tristan
Patrick
Kevin

They are both surnames & -van... no. What about Christopher, Colin, Cillian, Graham (gray-um, not gram), Gregory, Conor, Magnus or Cormac?

[memorymaze.livejournal.com]

Male cousin sibsets of mine are Dylan and Donovan. Sisters of Chelsea and Bryanne.



I like Donovan and Nicholas.

[sunleap.livejournal.com]

Nicholas is a no go. That is my ex-husband's name!

[memorymaze.livejournal.com]

Ahh... unfortunate!
