I was just wandering what you thought of as stylish, southern names. I always thought [name_m]Beau[/name_m], [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] or surnames that ended in s like [name_m]Brooks[/name_m] or [name_u]Collins[/name_u]. I’m not actually from [name_u]America[/name_u], but I am fascinated by it’s history, especially the south, and I love hearing the unusual and stylish names of some of it’s famous inhabitants! I saw an oldish blog post on [name_f]Mardi[/name_f] Gras names the other day and I loved them, what do you think of when you hear [name_f]Mardi[/name_f] Gras?
Btw, this isn’t just me being British and ignorant in thinking that only people from southern states have cool names and I know that not everyone from the southern states has this kind of name 
I’ve really babbled on here, but I don’t want to offend anyone.
Thanks in advance x
I’m from the south, but not [name_f]Louisiana[/name_f]. Honestly, I don’t think names here in TN follow a southern pattern. 50-60 years ago they did. I rarely hear [name_m]Beau[/name_m] or [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] now, yet I hear [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] on older women.
When I think southern names, I think of double names and last names as first names. [name_f]My[/name_f] family is from the South and we know people such as; [name_u]Chelsea[/name_u]-[name_u]Rae[/name_u], [name_f]Mary[/name_f] Sellers, [name_f]Ann[/name_f] [name_u]Perry[/name_u], [name_m]Barnes[/name_m], [name_m]Burke[/name_m], [name_m]Wells[/name_m], etc.
Thanks for the insights guys x
I think it depends on what you’re looking for, Classic and for lack of a better word ‘stereotypical’ southern names would be [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_m]Beauregard[/name_m], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], etc. but I think more current Southern names would be double-barreled names & surnames and things along that line like [name_u]Sutton[/name_u] & [name_f]Emma[/name_f]-[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
