Initial Thoughts:
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f][name_m]Crawford[/name_m] → buttoned-up surname with [name_m]Southern[/name_m] charm; strong, a bit prim
[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f][name_m]Ferris[/name_m] → vintage and breezy, evokes [name_m]Ferris[/name_m] [name_m]Bueller[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f] or [name_m]Ferris[/name_m] wheel; laid-back cool
[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f][name_m]Silver[/name_m] → sleek, elemental, evocative of cowgirl boots and moonlight; very visual and wearable
[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f][name_f]Tulsa[/name_f] → edgy place name, has grit and sense of road-trip [name_f]Americana[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f][name_f]Brindle[/name_f] → unusual but warm; feels like a nature-animal-surname blend; earthy and textural
[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f][name_m]Gaines[/name_m] → clean and sharp, surnamey and a bit corporate
[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f][name_f]Temple[/name_f] → poetic and solemn; feels spiritual, architectural, and a little noir
[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f][name_m]Credence[/name_m] → virtue-adjacent with a soft goth or folk quality; maybe too heavy for some
[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f][name_m]Flannery[/name_m] → literary and whip-smart, [name_m]Southern[/name_m] Gothic via [name_m]Flannery[/name_m] O’Connor
[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f][name_f]Amethyst[/name_f] → sparkling and mystical; a glam but grounded gemstone name
[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
Sassiest/Spunkiest: [name_m]Ferris[/name_m], [name_f]Tulsa[/name_f], [name_f]Amethyst[/name_f], [name_m]Flannery[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f]
Most Approachable: [name_m]Ferris[/name_m], [name_f]Amethyst[/name_f], [name_f]Brindle[/name_f], [name_m]Gaines[/name_m]

Modern Cowgirl Vibes: [name_m]Silver[/name_m], [name_f]Tulsa[/name_f], [name_f]Temple[/name_f], [name_f]Brindle[/name_f], [name_m]Flannery[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f]
Keep:
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Silver[/name_m] → bold and luminous [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Tulsa[/name_f] → full of story and punch [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Brindle[/name_f] → rustic and rare [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Flannery[/name_m] → smart, strong character [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Amethyst[/name_f] → glam with heart [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Ferris[/name_m] → lively and unisex [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Temple[/name_f] → evocative and grounding [name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
Remove:
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Crawford[/name_m] → a little stiff, could feel more masculine than fresh [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Gaines[/name_m] → clean, but slightly flat next to your other evocative names [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Credence[/name_m] → beautiful sound, but heavy in meaning; could be hard to wear [name_f][/name_f]
Initial thoughts → surname style options with a touch of celebrity and cinema. I do get ‘modern cowgirl’ from this set over all
[name_f][/name_f]
Sassiest → [name_m]Silver[/name_m], [name_f]Tulsa[/name_f], [name_f]Temple[/name_f], [name_f]Amethyst[/name_f], [name_f]Brindle[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
Approachable → [name_m]Silver[/name_m], [name_f]Tulsa[/name_f], [name_m]Flannery[/name_m], [name_f]Amethyst[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
Modern cowgirl → [name_f]Brindle[/name_f], [name_m]Ferris[/name_m], [name_f]Tulsa[/name_f], [name_m]Gaines[/name_m], [name_m]Credence[/name_m], [name_m]Flannery[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f]
Keep → [name_m]Ferris[/name_m] (sassy, warm and cool), [name_m]Silver[/name_m] (sleek, stylish but tough), [name_f]Tulsa[/name_f] (playful and pretty but with a hint of outdoorsy ruggedness), [name_m]Credence[/name_m] (breezy and sleek but determined in vibe), [name_m]Flannery[/name_m] (cool, outdoorsy), [name_f]Brindle[/name_f] ( like [name_f]Kendall[/name_f] but with a more distinctive feel [name_f][/name_f]- leans both preppy and cowgirl imo), [name_f]Amethyst[/name_f] (I wasn’t sure if this was right at first, but it’s got sass, sparkle and sharpness)
[name_f][/name_f]
Lose → [name_m]Gaines[/name_m] (just no sure I’d want ‘gain’ in my name)
