The third most common name in Ireland.
the O'Sullivan family line once ruled county cork, until the notorious potato famine, many of the O'Sullivan family emigrated to Manchester for a better life, although just how many and exactly when is a mystery.
As with any name starting with O followed by an apostrophe, it means 'Brother of' or even 'Slave of' So the original O'Sullivans would most likely have been freed slaves or nameless families who where accepted by the Sullivan family as their own for great deeds or services rendered.
Famous O'Sullivans include Ronnie O'Sullivan (snooker player) and Richard O'Sullivan(1960's actor, Robins nest)
They are generally prolific breeders and have been known to father children out of wedlock, or simply deny the existence of an offspring/sibling for reasons known only to themselves, Also notable is an inherent tolerance for alcohol, probably stemming from Irish roots, most O'Sullivans enjoy Guinness, however, this is not as common any more, most will just drink until their vision is impaired and their legs unable to transport them directly to their destination and yet somehow wake up right as rain.

Get the O'Sullivan mug.Sullivan is the most beautiful girl, inside and out. She has the most contagious laugh and big beautiful brown eyes. She will always make you smile and has the sweetest heart you've ever met. Loyal to a fault and never gives up on anyone or anything. Sullivan is the life of the party, everyone wants to be friends with her. When she walks into a room everyone stares, she's that rare kind of beautiful. In the bedroom she is a wild animal but to everyone else she appears innocent. Sullivan is the kind of girl you will never forget and you won't be able to stop thinking about. Sullivan isn't great at one thing but she's good at everything. One would say she's a "jack of all trades" kind of girl. So once you find a Sullivan, never let her go because she is very rare.

Get the salivan mug.One of the absolute shittiest areas of NH, no questions asked. Miles upon miles of tiny, go-nowhere towns in the middle of fucking nowhere, row upon row of trailer parks and absurdly run-down houses (most of them with rusted car parts and appliances dotting the yards), shitty general stores, pizza parlors, and ice cream stands dotting the land, gun shops in every town, and tourist trap gift shops littering the more populated areas. Meth and heroin are big in the area, alcoholism is rampant, and there have been a fair amount of confirmed incest cases in quite a few of the towns. Even the more populated areas are still pretty seedy, with Newport holding little more than a strip mall, a few convenience stores, and other assorted unsuccessful businesses. When the biggest draw of a town is a fucking Ocean State Job Lots outlet, you know there's a problem. Claremont is much the same, just larger, while Sunapee is populated by rich out-of-staters in the summer and is damn near a fucking ghost town in the winter. Really, this describes the entire fucking area in a nutshell. There are only three things worth giving a rat's ass about here: Lake Sunapee, which is okay, Mount Sunapee, which is overpriced as fuck and worthless if you don't like winter sports, and the assorted hiking trails, which are mosquito-ridden hellholes for much of the summer and snowed over in the winter, making them useless for snowshoeing. In short, fuck this place.
"Fuck, man, where are we going today?"
"Claremont?"
"Fuck that shit, it's like a larger Newport, AKA devoid of anything worth giving a pig fuck about."
"Man, fuck Sullivan County."
"True dat."
