I spent the weekend in mississippi with my husbands family. Got me wanting to find a southern gem of a name 
Any suggestions? I would like a variety from names double names to frilly to masculine like [name]Ryder[/name] for a girl.
To me, these are classically Southern names:
[name]Annabelle[/name]
[name]Darlene[/name]
[name]Dixie[/name]
[name]Lorena[/name]
[name]Twila[/name]
Those might be too feminine for me
Where I come from in the South, girls’ names tend to be a family surname: [name]Bentley[/name], [name]Camden[/name], [name]Peyton[/name], Lauck, [name]Shelton[/name], [name]Brigham[/name], [name]Alston[/name], [name]Tyler[/name], [name]Blakely[/name], Linley, etc. These are sometimes double-barrelled with [name]Anne[/name], [name]Mae[/name], [name]Mary[/name], etc: [name]Anne[/name] [name]Waverly[/name], [name]Anne[/name] [name]Hampton[/name], [name]Mae[/name] [name]Monroe[/name] (and then there are the more regular double names like [name]Mary[/name] [name]Catherine[/name], [name]Marybeth[/name], [name]Billie[/name] [name]Anne[/name], or [name]Carrie[/name] [name]Frances[/name]). I would suggest digging into your family tree (and your husband’s!) for names you like!
Then there are a few feminizations of male names: [name]Ryanne[/name], [name]Evanne[/name] (prn. just like [name]Evan[/name]), [name]Laine[/name]…
Other names that evoke the South for me: [name]Magnolia[/name], [name]Azalea[/name], [name]Camellia[/name], [name]Bay[/name], [name]Flannery[/name] (love-was a family surname of hers!), [name]Virginia[/name], [name]Carolina[/name], [name]Georgia[/name], [name]Savannah[/name], [name]August[/name] and [name]Augusta[/name], Osceola, [name]Nola[/name], [name]Summer[/name], [name]Scarlett[/name] off the top of my head 
I have met a few ladies named [name]Paralee[/name]/Paralie. Also, [name]Bobbie[/name]-[name]Jo[/name] comes to mind.
I’m a southerner and the names you often find for girls are family last names used as first names, double names, and traditionally southern-style names.
Ex:
[name]Bailey[/name]
[name]Miller[/name]
[name]Lewis[/name]
[name]Birch[/name]
[name]Elliott[/name]
[name]Anne[/name] [name]Mason[/name]
[name]Annabelle[/name]
[name]Rosalie[/name]
[name]Hattie[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
Kaki nn for [name]Katherine[/name]
I also lived with two girls from Mississippi named [name]Ramsey[/name] and [name]Bruce[/name], [name]Bruce[/name] was a female junior of her father.
I live in the South, and agree with what has been mentioned in previous posts. It is common for girls to have a surname. Double names are also very popular.
Some surnames as a double name that I have heard:
[name]Mary[/name] [name]Turner[/name]
[name]Mary[/name] [name]Wells[/name]
[name]Mary[/name] [name]Scott[/name]
[name]Ann[/name] [name]Michael[/name]
[name]Mary[/name] [name]Michael[/name]
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Scott[/name]
[name]Mary[/name] [name]Martin[/name]
[name]Mae[/name] [name]Martin[/name]
[name]Jane[/name] [name]Avery[/name]
[name]Mary[/name] [name]Loyd[/name]
[name]Mary[/name] [name]Sutton[/name]
Other surnames I have heard used on girls as first names:
Mcall
[name]Smith[/name]
Mckamy
[name]Blakely[/name]
[name]Brighton[/name]
[name]Ramsey[/name]
[name]IMO[/name] these names are Southern aslo:
[name]Camille[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]/[name]Mary[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Mary[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Mary[/name] [name]Katherine[/name]/[name]Anna[/name] [name]Katherine[/name]
[name]Louise[/name]/[name]Mary[/name] [name]Louise[/name]/[name]Ann[/name] [name]Louise[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Mae[/name]
[name]Hope[/name] that helps!
Some double names of students of mine here in northwest [name]Florida[/name]: [name]Mary[/name] [name]Alice[/name], [name]Mary[/name] [name]Josephine[/name], [name]Sarah[/name] [name]Grace[/name]. Other names are [name]Peyton[/name], [name]Laine[/name], [name]Roberta[/name], [name]Amelia[/name], [name]Sydney[/name], [name]Bailey[/name], [name]Fitzpatrick[/name], [name]Alexandria[/name], Justica, [name]Amee[/name], [name]Alyssa[/name], [name]Courtney[/name]…Besides the ubiquitous Brittanys, Brittnis, Britneys, and a zillion Jessicas. Then there are [name]Debra[/name], [name]Stephanie[/name], [name]Justice[/name], [name]Faith[/name], [name]Autumn[/name], [name]Charity[/name], [name]Chastity[/name].
I grew up in the South and some double names that I recall are [name]Sarah[/name] [name]Jane[/name], [name]Georgia[/name] [name]Grace[/name], and [name]Mary[/name] [name]Alice[/name]. I knew quite a few girls with surnames as first names, including [name]Harper[/name], Landrum, [name]Ellis[/name], [name]Sheldon[/name], and [name]Carlisle[/name]. Some frilly names I’ve heard are [name]Susannah[/name], [name]Virginia[/name], [name]Cornelia[/name] nn [name]Neely[/name], and [name]Savannah[/name] (I really dislike this one for some reason).
Many girls, as previous posters have stated, have double names or their mother’s maiden name, but there are also names that sound like they’ve lifted from Gone with the Wind:
[name]Mary[/name] [name]Beth[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Mae[/name]
[name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Camilla[/name]
[name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Jane[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name]
[name]Frances[/name]
[name]Nola[/name]
I love [name]Magnolia[/name] and think it has a lot of southern charm I also tend to think of nickname names (ending in ie) as being southern… My grandfather is from South Carolina and we have a [name]Hattie[/name], [name]Florrie[/name], [name]Flossie[/name], [name]Nannie[/name], [name]Lovie[/name], [name]Lottie[/name], [name]Maggie[/name], and [name]Lillie[/name] (among others!) in our family tree. If those are too informal, you could do something like [name]Harriet[/name] nn [name]Hattie[/name], [name]Florence[/name] nn [name]Florrie[/name], etc…
[name]Dorothy[/name] [name]May[/name] ([name]Mae[/name]) sounds very southern to me. My in-laws are in NC & they pretty much have common names. Well, except for [name]Clara[/name] [name]Dale[/name]. That’s my husband’s aunt, first & middle. Not many females in his family.
[name]Lark[/name]
[name]Larkin[/name]
[name]Lake[/name]
[name]Delta[/name]
[name]Ada[/name] [name]Louise[/name]
[name]Merritt[/name]
[name]Artis[/name]
[name]Bo[/name]
[name]Oona[/name]
[name]Daisy[/name]
[name]Eartha[/name]
[name]Linda[/name] [name]Lou[/name]
[name]Love[/name]
I think a good Southern name is a name that’s unique, personal and disregards the rules! These are a few I’ve known or thought up.
I love the idea of [name]Ryder[/name] for a girl. [name]Love[/name] masculine names for sweet little girls with a little southern charm. I also agree with previous posters about the use of maiden names as unisex southern girls names. Some more ideas of girls I know…
[name]Greer[/name], [name]Carlisle[/name], [name]Blythe[/name], [name]Harper[/name], carter, [name]Quinn[/name], [name]Stirling[/name], [name]Rae[/name], [name]Clayton[/name], [name]Calder[/name], [name]Palmer[/name], [name]Camden[/name], [name]Craig[/name], reed, [name]Peyton[/name], west, smythe
I love Southern little girl names. The first ones that come to mind are:
[name]Summer[/name], [name]Stella[/name], Baylen, [name]Elliot[/name], [name]Evan[/name], [name]Ashton[/name], [name]Bailey[/name], Hensley, and [name]Taylor[/name].
Out of the list above I would have to say [name]Elliot[/name] is my favorite, followed very closely by Baylen.
I also [name]LOVE[/name] the name [name]Landry[/name], but to me that is a name that is all boy. I think [name]Landry[/name] [name]Monroe[/name] is a great name for a future baby boy!
[name]Hope[/name] you’ll let us know what you pick or at least what you narrow your list down to!!
I have two cousins from [name]Alabama[/name] named [name]Chaney[/name] and [name]Randa[/name]. And [name]Victoria[/name], their mother. [name]Stella[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name] are two I think of in general. [name]Magnolia[/name], [name]Annabelle[/name], [name]Rose[/name]/[name]Rosalie[/name], [name]Caroline[/name].
