I honestly love suggesting and helping friends come up with a list of favorite names! Here are a few baby names with a Southern draw that I’m currently loving! I myself have a Gracyn, Aubrey, Leightyn, and John Brooks and I love how each of their names are so unique, but were each so thoughtfully selected!

Girls!

Savannah

I have always loved this name and it belongs to a little girl as sweet and charming as the southern town it comes from.

Delilah

I love how this name just rolls of your tongue like a melody and I think it would be perfect for a special girl. 

Lyla

Any Friday Night Lights fans? This name makes me instantly think of a baby girl with a bubbly personality and southern charm!

Dixie

This name is pretty southern and would be adorable with any short middle name like “May” or “Ann”!

Bella

She’s bound to be beautiful with a name like this! 

Mary

In the south it’s common to have multiple “Mary” then insert the Dad’s name, like “Mary Scott” or “Mary Mark”. I love this tradition and think it could grow. 

Gaither

Boy or girl I love this name! It’s unique and traditional all at the same time!

Callie

This name is playful and would go with so many cute middle names.

Abigail

So many nickname options like Abby

Betsy

This one is a throwback, but I love it!

Emmaline

I’m Emily and my Dad has always called me Emmaline as a nickname! This would be the sweetest baby girl name!

Grace

This precious girl is bound to be full of it! 

Josey

Sweet and simple what more could you want in a southern name!

Delta

Makes me think of a strong little lady!

Boys!

Buck

This name is appropriate for a little outdoorsman. 

Hunter

Hunting in the south is a tradition and this is a name to be proud of!

Blade

Perfect name for a strong little fellow. 

Easton

No not the baseball bat company, but this name would be perfect for a future little slugger!

Beau

Love this name for a little gentleman!

Clawson

Such a sweet name with an old school charm. 

Dawson

This name immediately makes me think of the loveable character in the popular southern, coastal show!

Aubry

I know it’s a popular girls name and my daughter is Aubrey, but I also love that it used to be a very traditional southern male name. 

Daughtry

It’s almost poetic and would be adorable and unique for a little lad.

Abe

It’s practically presidential!

Forest

So fitting for a little man who will undoubtedly love being outside!

Garrett

This name just seems reliable!

Miles

This name is making a huge comeback thanks to the talented Miles Teller and it is so fitting for a cute baby boy too!

Very historical, but also very trendy!

Owen

Think of all the adorable nicknames for sweet Owen!
