Suggestions and opinions on a Southern boy name?!?

Question

I'm a non-traditionalist, but my partner is a die hard Southern gent. So, we are trying to compromise on new Southern names we both like. We don't want it to sound cheap or trashy...so we are in great need of some opinions. Honest thoughts really help, and also if you have any suggestions or additions to the list that would be great (Middle names too!!!) !!!

So far there's:

Roam

Rowdy

Bryar

Morgan

BTW...we have relatives named Jackson, Cooper, and Hunter...

Answer 1

Morgan

Answer 2

How about Blaze or Connor?

I'm currently living in the south and have southern relatives on my mom's side. Here are some names of my husband's friends and my relatives that seem to epitomize the south to me (south as in southeast, not Texas, etc...):

I have very distant relatives named Annie Missouri, Shelby Missouri, and Martha Missouri (though that side never got near the state!), and I think there's an interesting and distinctly southern ring to those.

Of your name choices, I think Morgan is good for a boy or girl, and Jackson, Cooper, and Hunter are all nice.

Answer 10

I'm from L.A. so I can relate to your being non-traditional. I also lived in Georgia for 10 years,and I understand the Southern Gentleman. (as much as you can understand him). LOL.

Here are my suggestions:

August

Everett

Emmett

Cyrus

Cole

Frederick

Wallace

Some of these sound really dated. Others are kind of cool when you say them a few times.

These are my sisters favorites;

Levon

Lemuel

Samuel

Garth

Grayson

The ones you have mentioned sound like they belong in L.A. or New York. Hope these helped and Good luck.
