Nickname names with Southern flair?

Boy Names
1

We’re totally lost on boys names. The only ones left on our list are:

[name_u]Sonny[/name_u] - my personal fav but dh isn’t sold & I have to admit it makes me nervous to commit to, even though I love it.

[name_u]Hudson[/name_u] - a full name option for [name_u]Sonny[/name_u]. Again, dh isn’t sold.

[name_u]Finn[/name_u] - I like, dh doesn’t.

[name_m]Wesley[/name_m]/[name_m]Westley[/name_m] - Dh’s fave. Seems a little plain to me.

[name_u]Beau[/name_u] - we both like but DH has a cousin with this name.

I think I tend to lean more nickname sounding names while my husband leans more southern sounding. Can anyone suggest some unusual nickname names with southern flair? [name_f]TIA[/name_f]!

I think [name_m]Brody[/name_m] would be a nice fit for you.

[name_u]Dash[/name_u] was my first thought. Or [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] nn. [name_u]Dash[/name_u].

Other ideas—not all nickname names, but they have that feel:

[name_u]Audie[/name_u]
[name_m]Hank[/name_m]
[name_m]Jed[/name_m]
[name_m]Quill[/name_m]
[name_u]Remy[/name_u]
[name_u]Roy[/name_u]
[name_u]Sully[/name_u]
[name_m]Tucker[/name_m]
[name_u]Tully[/name_u]
[name_u]Wylie[/name_u]

It’s not technically a nickname but for some reason [name_m]Dougray[/name_m] just sprang to mind for you — nn [name_u]Gray[/name_u], perhaps?

And by the by, I think you could use [name_u]Sonny[/name_u] as a pet name no matter what his full name is (I love it!)

[name_u]Bentley[/name_u] and [name_u]Brett[/name_u] came to mind immediately.

I love [name_u]Sonny[/name_u]. We had [name_m]Orson[/name_m] nick name [name_u]Sonny[/name_u] on our list. I think that could sound southern.
[name_u]Walker[/name_u]
[name_m]Thatcher[/name_m]
[name_m]Shepherd[/name_m]
[name_m]Booker[/name_m]
[name_u]Drew[/name_u]
[name_m]Corky[/name_m]
[name_u]Tyson[/name_u] ([name_u]Sonny[/name_u] or Th both sound southern)
[name_u]Jesse[/name_u]
[name_m]Cassius[/name_m] ([name_m]Cash[/name_m])
[name_m]Montgomery[/name_m] ([name_m]Monty[/name_m])
[name_m]Otis[/name_m]
[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] ([name_m]Thad[/name_m] or [name_m]Tad[/name_m])
[name_m]Fletcher[/name_m]
[name_m]Fisher[/name_m]
[name_m]Bridger[/name_m]

Good luck
