I grew up in the Southwest on a ranch and I’m looking for baby names that reflects this heritage. However, I don’t want anything too literal and hokey, like [name]Bo[/name], [name]Jesse[/name], [name]Bonnie[/name] or [name]Sally[/name]; my husband and I are looking for something Western in style, but elegant too. For examples, [name]Clara[/name] and [name]Montgomery[/name] are some names that fall into this category. [name]Do[/name] you have any suggestions?
Here are some I get a elegant Western vibe from for whatever reason.
Boys:
[name]Seth[/name]
Bridges
[name]Winslow[/name]
[name]Cooper[/name]
[name]Blaine[/name]
[name]Briggs[/name]
[name]Wilson[/name]
Girls:
[name]Raleigh[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name]
[name]Willa[/name]
[name]Hadley[/name]
Boys:
[name]Brooks[/name]
[name]Remington[/name]
[name]Ryder[/name]
[name]Weston[/name]
[name]Gunner[/name]
Girls:
[name]Daisy[/name]
[name]Gentry[/name]
Girls:
[name]Georgia[/name]
[name]Susanna[/name]
[name]Harriet[/name] ([name]Hattie[/name])
[name]Maisie[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name]
Boys:
[name]Cal[/name]
[name]Clayton[/name]
[name]Clifton[/name]
[name]Dean[/name]
[name]Madeleine[/name]/ [name]Madelyn[/name] and [name]Adelaide[/name].
[name]Weston[/name] and [name]Noah[/name].
Boys:
[name]Wyatt[/name]
[name]Weston[/name]
[name]Everett[/name]
[name]Logan[/name]
[name]Samuel[/name] / [name]Samson[/name]
Girls:
[name]Ellie[/name]
[name]Nellie[/name]
[name]Jessi[/name]
[name]Cora[/name]
These may not seem particuarly western to you, but they do to me:
[name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Samuel[/name]
[name]Floyd[/name]
[name]Wesley[/name]
[name]Hamilton[/name]
[name]Emerson[/name]
[name]Thaddeus[/name]
[name]Aubrey[/name]
[name]Henrietta[/name]
[name]Abigail[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Olivia[/name]
[name]Frances[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Vera[/name]
[name]Laura[/name]
For girls, [name]Harriet[/name], [name]Tessa[/name], [name]Abigail[/name] and [name]Laura[/name] all strike me as more country names. So does [name]Cheyenne[/name], although that’s probably too literal. For boys, [name]Weston[/name] obviously, as well as [name]Sam[/name] and [name]Cooper[/name].
[name]How[/name] about [name]Clay[/name] or [name]Boone[/name] for a boy?
Boys:
[name]Colton[/name]
[name]Sawyer[/name]
[name]Austin[/name]
[name]Lane[/name]
[name]Luke[/name]
[name]Chase[/name]
[name]Chance[/name]
[name]Campbell[/name]
[name]Stetson[/name]
Girl:
[name]Gentry[/name]
[name]Chesney[/name]
[name]Delaney[/name]
[name]Lane[/name]
[name]Halle[/name]
[name]Georgia[/name]
[name]Savannah[/name]
[name]Sadie[/name]
Also, girls:
[name]Loretta[/name]
[name]Annette[/name]
[name]Lynette[/name]
[name]Meadow[/name]
[name]Carrie[/name]
[name]Neely[/name]
[name]Liza[/name]
[name]Fay[/name]/[name]Faye[/name]
Thanks everyone! We do like the names [name]Weston[/name] and [name]Cheyenne[/name]. I also like [name]Wyatt[/name], [name]Louisa[/name] and [name]Cora[/name]. Someone also mentioned [name]Winslow[/name] and [name]Wilson[/name], which is close to another name we were considering - [name]Winston[/name].
