Sullivan

In Pixar's Monsters, Inc and Monsters University, James P Sullivan, commonly known as Sulley, came from a alternate world where monsters used children's screams to create electricity. Sulley was a member of a well known scaring family. He attended Monsters University, but he did not have a very good work ethic. After an incident involving Mike Wazowski and Dean Hardscrabble, he was kicked out of the scaring program. He joined the Oozma Kappa fraternity with Mike and they competed in the Scare Games in an attempt to get back into the program. Fearing that Mike would make the team lose, Sulley cheated in the last event and they were both expelled. They both got jobs in the mailroom at Monster's, Inc and eventually worked their way up the ladder. Sulley became one of the top scarers in the company. While at Monsters, Inc, He accidentally allowed a human girl, whom he called Boo, into their world. While trying to get Boo home, Sulley and Mike exposed a plot by Randall and the CEO Henry J Waternoose III to use a scream extractor on children to boost production. However, during their time with Boo, they discovered that children's laughter provided much more power than their screams, saving the company.

Sullivan is an Irish surname that means "dark eyes." The Sullivan Clan was based in south-west Ireland, and their motto was "The Steady Hand to Victory."  In 2014, Sullivan was the 463rd most popular name for boys. There were also 49 girls named Sullivan in 2014. I think the nickname Sulley would be a great pet name.
