1. At some point, people will try to force the nickname ‘Sully’ on you
Whether you like it or not.
2. Which is confusing because there is always another Sully knocking around the place
3. You’ve claimed this guy as one of your own
4. And you were fierce confused when it turned out Captain Sully wasn’t named O’Sullivan
5. You feel a special kinship with this gal
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
6. It might be one of the most common names in Ireland, but you still encounter people who can’t spell it…
7. And that’s to say nothing of being called Ó Súilleabháin
God help you if your name is Ó Súilleabháin and you have to spell it out over the phone.
8. The apostrophe can be a serious hindrance
You’re well accustomed to filling out your name as “OSullivan” on internet forms at this stage.
9. But you wouldn’t change it for the world…
O’SULLIVAN TILL I DIE.
