My husband and I want to honor our southern heritage by giving our son at least one southern name (first or middle). We can only think of [name_m]Montgomery[/name_m] and [name_m]Davis[/name_m]! Any other suggestions?
These names feel southern to me…
[name_m]Mack[/name_m]
[name_m]Cletus[/name_m]
[name_m]Beauregard[/name_m]
[name_m]Rufus[/name_m]
[name_m]Clyde[/name_m]
[name_m]Heathcliff[/name_m]
[name_u]Memphis[/name_u]
[name_u]Bayou[/name_u]
[name_m]Clayton[/name_m]
[name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]
[name_m]Jethro[/name_m]
[name_m]Cormac[/name_m]
[name_u]Jericho[/name_u]
[name_m]Gable[/name_m]
[name_m]Cliff[/name_m]
[name_m]Travis[/name_m]
[name_m]Austin[/name_m]
[name_m]Cash[/name_m]
[name_m]Rhodes[/name_m]
[name_m]Clint[/name_m]
[name_m]Brooks[/name_m]
[name_m]Liam[/name_m], [name_m]Jaxon[/name_m], or any -aiden name. Seriously, that’s all I hear around here. Lol Sorry, I know you’re looking for “old south” inspired, rather than what’s trending at the moment. Any common Biblical name can be considered Southern, of course. [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], [name_m]David[/name_m], [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m], [name_m]Abraham[/name_m], etc. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like Cajun/[name_f]Louisiana[/name_f] inspired names? [name_m]Beauregard[/name_m], [name_u]Landry[/name_u], [name_u]Antoine[/name_u], [name_m]Claiborne[/name_m], [name_m]Grant[/name_m], [name_m]Lafayette[/name_m], basically anything [name_m]French[/name_m] or surname-y.
[name_m]Jefferson[/name_m]
[name_m]Cornelius[/name_m]
[name_m]Zebulon[/name_m]
[name_m]Jedediah[/name_m]
[name_m]Jethro[/name_m]
[name_u]Mason[/name_u] or [name_m]Dixon[/name_m]?
[name_m]Rhett[/name_m], [name_u]Ashley[/name_u], [name_u]Beau[/name_u], [name_m]Wilkes[/name_m] come to mind because of Gone With the Wind…
[name_m]Waylon[/name_m], [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m], [name_m]Hank[/name_m], [name_u]Merle[/name_u], [name_u]Darryl[/name_u], are more from pop culture. Southern is hard because it isn’t really a defined category, and everyone has different opinions on what is considered Southern. [name_m]Jaxon[/name_m] and [name_u]Aidan[/name_u] forms are more modern.
I love southern names!
