Re: Sullivan nn Sully
Well, it sounds too close to sullen for me, and of course sully means to make dirty. But Sully is very familiar now because of Sully Sullenberger, to whom 150 some people owe their very lives.When I was little, there was a pair of Muppets on Sesame Street called Biff and Sully. Biff was the talkative one, and in fact Sully never said a word. The gag was that Sully always managed to very cleverly stick Biff with all the work.I think, therefore I judge.
