After a lot of back and forth, DH and I have FINALLY decided we’ll start trying for our first at the end of this year! Given that we still have to wait awhile due to work commitments and my sister’s wedding, I’ve been distracting myself by updating our name lists and would love some feedback from you all.
In general we lean towards names that could be considered southern without being too “downmarket” and we’d love to hear your thoughts on anything you like/dislike, gives off the wrong vibe, anything we’re missing, etc.
Last name will be R0bins0n

My favorite is [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m].
All southern boys can go by [name_u]Beau[/name_u] or [name_m]Trae[/name_m] depending on if they are a [name_m]Jr[/name_m]. or a III. (this is a little joke about Southern naming conventions).

I love these names! My favourites are [name_m]Brooks[/name_m], [name_m]Wells[/name_m], [name_u]Beau[/name_u], [name_m]Otis[/name_m], [name_m]Clark[/name_m] and [name_m]Gideon[/name_m]. Because i’m from Aus, I don’t get the southern connection as much, I tend to think these names are preppy/ surname inspired. I love the style, which is why most of the names on your list are also on mine ” I have a [name_m]Jennings[/name_m], and names also on my list are [name_u]Campbell[/name_u], [name_m]Brooks[/name_m], [name_m]Clark[/name_m], [name_f]Elli[/name_f], Ames, [name_u]Owen[/name_u], [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m], [name_u]Reid[/name_u], [name_u]Kerr[/name_u], [name_u]Tiernan[/name_u], [name_m]Miller[/name_m], [name_m]Atticus[/name_m].
As an Australian I don’t know exactly what a Southern Name is but, going on my one year living in [name_u]America[/name_u] when I was 10, and various Movies I’ve seen, the following Names sound typically Southern to me:
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]
[name_m]Hayes[/name_m]
[name_m]Brooks[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]*([name_m]Hank[/name_m])
[name_u]Beau[/name_u]
[name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_u]Wade[/name_u]
[name_u]Dean[/name_u]
[name_u]Grady[/name_u]
[name_m]Clark[/name_m]
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m]
[name_m]Rhett[/name_m]
[name_m]Nolan[/name_m]
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m]
[name_m]Luke[/name_m]
[name_u]Dash[/name_u]
And these 10 are the Names from your List which I really like or [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] (<3) :
Jasper <3
Beau <3
Dean
Deacon
Grady
Wilder
Conrad <3
Fox
Luke
Dash
Beau especially sounds like a mighty fine Southern Name! It’s the one romantic Southern American Gentleman’s Name which I simply CANNOT resist! <3
