This is indeed a rare name. Anyone on the list know where it came from? How about Musa/Muca which means "Moses" in Arabic? I haven't seen Sullivan too much on other lists for a ROSS. Some have suggested it may be a surname used as a first name, or perhaps his mother's maiden name. I welcome all comments.
