Kyle Sullivan: Hi, my name is Kyle Sullivan. My first name, Kyle, is an Irish Gaelic name meaning straight or narrow, and my last name, Sullivan, is also Gaelic. It's partially derived from the Gaelic word for I, but no one quite knows what the word Sullivan means in total. One possible definition is one eye, which I really like because my brother Derek Sullivan and I created a picture book called The Cyclops Witch and the Heebie-Jeebies and our main character only has one eye. We didn't know the possible meaning of our name before we made the book, but now that we know, it all fit together very nicely.
