help me find more names like these...

General Name Discussion

[name]Hi[/name]! Husband and I are working on number two, and we’re looking for names that match our theme. Our first daughter is [name]Julie[/name], and to us, [name]Julie[/name] is sort of a down-home, southern kind of name (husband is from [name]Texas[/name] so he’s all about having southern babies, even if we are currently living in New [name]Jersey[/name]!) I have a few that I can think of, and I was wondering if you guys could come up with some more?

for boys, we have:

[name]Beau[/name]/[name]Bo[/name] (not sure of the spelling we’d use)
[name]Casey[/name] (this one is my favorite)
[name]Jack[/name]/[name]Jackson[/name] (I like this one, but it’s really common)

girls:

[name]Magnolia[/name] (can’t get more Southern than that, according to DH, lol)
[name]Memphis[/name] (kind of out there, but I like it)

And I can’t think of anymore, lol.

Any other suggestions?
Thanks so much :slight_smile:

Here’s a thread of Southern names. It mostly lists girls’ names, but there are a few for boys. Make sure you get to the end for the “[name]Texas[/name] names!”

Oh I love [name]Casey[/name] on boys. Maybe you could name him [name]Casey[/name] [name]Jackson[/name]. I also love the name [name]Memphis[/name], [name]Memphis[/name] [name]June[/name] I think is real sweet. What kind of middle names are you considering?

4

I love [name]Julie[/name], and also [name]Magnolia[/name] of your current list.

These are names which remind me of the South (I’m in [name]England[/name], though, so beware my judgment!) :
Boys :
Hartford
[name]Lincoln[/name]
[name]Redford[/name]
[name]Sawyer[/name]
[name]Sterling[/name] (it’s the whole surname name thing which is especially beloved in the South, from what I’ve read).

Girls :
[name]Bettina[/name]
[name]Camellia[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Lane[/name]
[name]Maggie[/name] (I like this as a nn, for [name]Magnolia[/name], [name]Margaret[/name], [name]Marguerite[/name], [name]Marigold[/name], [name]Margo[/name], anything!)
[name]Virginia[/name] (nn [name]Ginger[/name] makes this one fun and spunky. I’ve recently had the idea that [name]Ginia[/name] could stand on it’s own, which would eliminate the teasing possibility of the full name, but it would also create pronunciation issues and a J-sound theme with [name]Julia[/name].)
Also, vintage nicknames like [name]Dixie[/name], [name]Trixie[/name], [name]Betty[/name], [name]Betsy[/name] and [name]Penny[/name]. [name]Dixie[/name] could be for any D name, in my opinion; [name]Trixie[/name] for [name]Beatrix[/name] or [name]Bellatrix[/name], if you can shake off the [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name] association; [name]Betty[/name] and [name]Betsy[/name] for [name]Elizabeth[/name], or for [name]Elizabetta[/name]; [name]Penny[/name] for [name]Penelope[/name].

Good luck! [name]Auburn[/name]

Thanks guys!

I love [name]Memphis[/name] [name]June[/name], that’s exactly the sound I’m going for. Not “Southern belle”, but more like…rockabilly South, if that makes any sense. I wish there was a better word for what I’m trying to explain, lol.

We’re not real picky about middle names. We’d rather get the first name first and then go from there.

My husband just suggested:

[name]Cash[/name] (which I absolutely love)

6

I love [name]Casey[/name] and [name]Jack[/name] for boys. [name]Beau[/name] just seems too incomplete for me. [name]Magnolia[/name] is nice and uncommon but feels a little much next to [name]Julie[/name]. Plus, there’s always the [name]Julia[/name] [name]Roberts[/name] in [name]Steel[/name] Magnolias you’ll have to work around. [name]Memphis[/name] sounds more like a boy name to me. Also, it reminds me of [name]Happy[/name] Feet, so I can only find it fitting on a male penguin who talks with a southern accent.

[name]Julie[/name] and [name]Casey[/name]
[name]Julie[/name] and [name]Jack[/name] (a little too [name]Jack[/name] and [name]Jill[/name], maybe.)

also… my husband’s last name is [name]Austin[/name] and when he was born his uncle wanted his parents to name him [name]Dallas[/name] [name]Houston[/name] [name]Austin[/name] so that he could call him [name]Tex[/name] for short. I kind of wish they did. lol. it’d be hilarious. especially considering he’s about the most “un texas” person i’ve ever met.
