Cullen is gaelic and Irish in origin and means good looking, handsome (and my next Corgi will surely be that). But the name to me comes from Christian Cullen who was born and raised fairly close to where I live and is New Zealand's greatest ever rugby full back and one of our most brilliant players ever.

I have had the pleasure of seeing Christian Cullen playing several times, the first and the last were totally different experiences for him- the first was at the start of his career when the NZ team slaughtered my team Llanelli and he scored 4 tries- he was sublime that day.As you say, brilliant.
Unfortunately I also saw him playing for Munster, again against Llanelli in the quarter finals of the Heineken cup in March of this year when he was a shadow of his former self and such a shame to see a fine player now out of touch with the game.
