Hubby and I are having a hard time deciding on the name of our third child. We have an [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] and are looking for a simple, traditional/classic, masculine, cowboy name. We live on a ranch in [name_f]Wyoming[/name_f] but don’t like trendy “cowboy” names like [name_m]Colten[/name_m], [name_m]Colter[/name_m], [name_u]Cody[/name_u], [name_m]Weston[/name_m], etc. or any unisex names. To give you an idea what we’re looking for, the names [name_m]Hank[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]Peter[/name_m], and [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] are a few names in our family that are loved but unusable. Any suggestions would be very appreciated! Thanks!
A few names that I suggested that haven’t been well received but not quite vetoed:
Our son’s name is [name_u]Barrett[/name_u], which is a brand of rifle and fits the cowboy image. [name_m]Harvey[/name_m] is similar to [name_m]Harry[/name_m] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m]. I had a sweet Great Uncle [name_m]Harvey[/name_m] who was a farmer. [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] could work to, reminds me of [name_m]Brad[/name_m] [name_m]Pitt[/name_m]'s character in Legends of the Fall.
Other names that could work:
[name_m]William[/name_m]/[name_m]Will[/name_m]/[name_u]Billy[/name_u]
[name_u]Jameson[/name_u]/[name_u]James[/name_u]/[name_u]Jem[/name_u]
[name_m]George[/name_m]
[name_m]Charles[/name_m]/[name_u]Charlie[/name_u]/[name_m]Chuck[/name_m]/[name_u]Cal[/name_u]
[name_m]Frank[/name_m]
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m]/[name_m]Joe[/name_m]
[name_m]Robert[/name_m]/[name_m]Rob[/name_m]/[name_u]Robbie[/name_u]/[name_u]Bo[/name_u]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]/[name_m]Tommy[/name_m]/[name_m]Tom[/name_m]
[name_m]Edward[/name_m]/[name_m]Ned[/name_m]/[name_u]Teddy[/name_u]
[name_m]Walter[/name_m]/[name_m]Walt[/name_m]/[name_u]Wally[/name_u]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m]/[name_m]Jake[/name_m]
[name_u]Jesse[/name_u]
[name_m]Chester[/name_m]/[name_m]Chet[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugh[/name_m]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m]
[name_m]Clyde[/name_m]
[name_u]August[/name_u]/[name_m]Augie[/name_m]/[name_u]Gus[/name_u]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]/[name_u]Theo[/name_u]/[name_u]Teddy[/name_u]
[name_m]Stephen[/name_m]
[name_m]Julius[/name_m]/[name_u]Jules[/name_u]
[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m]/[name_m]Zeke[/name_m]
[name_m]Abram[/name_m]/[name_m]Abe[/name_m]
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] you find something that you love!
The names you mentioned liking ([name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]Peter[/name_m], [name_m]Samuel[/name_m]) all seem more like classics than “cowboy” names to me.
Maybe you would like…
[name_m]Paul[/name_m]
[name_m]Timothy[/name_m]
[name_m]Gregory[/name_m]
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
[name_m]Marshall[/name_m]
[name_m]Colin[/name_m]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_m]Liam[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]
[name_m]Quentin[/name_m]
[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_m]Marcus[/name_m]
Calvin
I love [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] with sibs. [name_m]Caleb[/name_m] would also be great. Maybe [name_u]Emmett[/name_u], [name_m]Bennett[/name_m], [name_u]Spencer[/name_u], [name_m]Jonah[/name_m], [name_m]Grant[/name_m], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], [name_m]Timothy[/name_m], [name_m]Calvin[/name_m], [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_m]Griffin[/name_m], [name_m]Nathan[/name_m], [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m], [name_m]Heath[/name_m]. These aren’t really cowboy names, but they can blend with that vibe [name_f]IMO[/name_f]. Good luck!
It has been quite awhile but for anyone reading this thread we went with [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]. It was a name we decided on the day after he was born and it suits him and our family well:)
