Sullivan has been on the rise in recent years, predominantly for boys, but also for a growing number of girls: more than 100 in a recent year. Short form Sully has also begun to see occasional usage, fitting in to the trend of boyish nicknames for girls, but alternative spelling Sullie may appeal to parents who want to soften the name slightly, in line with Billie and Stevie. Meaning "black-eyed one" from its Irish origins, Sullie has only ever appeared in the US charts once, back in 1919, when it was used for 6 girls.

Xene remains extremely uncommon in most Western countries, appealing to parents seeking a truly distinctive name with ancient roots. The name's combination of exotic quality and brevity gives it a contemporary feel despite its classical origins. Those named Xene typically enjoy having a name that stands out while still being relatively straightforward to pronounce once heard.</p>
