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. :)

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.

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!

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

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. :)

I like them together.

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?

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



I like Donovan and Nicholas.
