Two very different naming styles

Boy Names
1

So my husband and I were discussing names the other day, and he told me his two favorites are [name]Brantley[/name] and [name]Stetson[/name]. Totally names for a little cowboy which does not surprise me coming from my cowboy boot wearing husband! My favorites tend to lean more Biblical or unique such as [name]Elihu[/name], [name]Malachi[/name], [name]Ephraim[/name], [name]Maverick[/name] or [name]Canaan[/name]. While I like his suggestions, I’m not totally sold on either, and he feels the same about mine. We’re not pregnant, just thinking ahead for baby #2 :slight_smile:

Any suggestions of names that would be either “cowboy” or “biblical”? Or maybe something unique somewhere in the middle?

Oh, I love a good cowboy name! I don’t like [name]Brantley[/name] at all, but how about:

[name]Ty[/name]
[name]Grady[/name]
[name]Cal[/name]
[name]Cord[/name]
[name]Emmett[/name]
[name]John[/name]
[name]Sterling[/name]
[name]Forrest[/name]

Isn’t [name]Maverick[/name] both? That seems like the perfect compromise!

You may suggest to him to look at the list called Biblical Names and I believe there’s another on this site called Popular Biblical Names. For you, I’d look into the Southern Names list. There’s also the Names Dads Prefer More Than Moms. All of this is on Nameberry.

I like pp suggestion of [name]Emmett[/name].

What about [name]Elijah[/name] nn [name]Eli[/name]?

[name]Joel[/name]
[name]Abram[/name]
[name]Asa[/name]
[name]Caleb[/name]
[name]Eben[/name]
[name]Felix[/name]
[name]Levi[/name]
[name]Reuben[/name]
[name]Silas[/name]

[name]Maverick[/name] seems very much on the cowboy side to me.

What about something like [name]Cypress[/name] or [name]Shiloh[/name] or [name]Gilead[/name]? Not super overtly Biblical but have a bit of country flair.

Or what about a virtue name like [name]Justice[/name] or [name]Merritt[/name] or Truett?

There are quite a few cowboy-ish names that are also Biblical. :slight_smile:

I like the suggestions of:
[name]Ezekiel[/name] (nn [name]Zeke[/name])
[name]Jacob[/name] (nn [name]Jake[/name])
[name]Caleb[/name]
[name]Levi[/name]

Also, what about:
[name]Gabriel[/name] (nn [name]Gabe[/name])
[name]Adam[/name]
[name]Amos[/name]
[name]Jesse[/name]
[name]Jedediah[/name] (nn [name]Jed[/name])
[name]Luke[/name]

There’s a lot of crossover between Biblical and cowboy. [name]Levi[/name] and [name]Jesse[/name] are perfect examples. [name]Eli[/name], [name]Jacob[/name], [name]Ezekiel[/name]/[name]Zeke[/name], [name]Ezra[/name], [name]Asa[/name], [name]Zachariah[/name]/[name]Zack[/name], [name]Jedidiah[/name]/[name]Jed[/name], [name]Gideon[/name], [name]Amos[/name], [name]Isaac[/name], and [name]Silas[/name] all read kind of cowboy to me. [name]Wyatt[/name], [name]Judson[/name]/[name]Judd[/name], [name]Emmett[/name], [name]Cody[/name], [name]Hank[/name], [name]Wesley[/name], [name]Zane[/name], [name]Boone[/name], and [name]Wiley[/name] all have a cowboy vibe to me too.
