What are some good southern boys names other than Austin and Jackson?

I have a question up about girl names but on the small chance that I鈥檓 having a boy I would love to have a strong southern name to give him. I like Jackson and Austin but I know at least two of each of them and I don鈥檛 want to name him anything overly popular. Any ideas?

What are some good southern boys names other than Austin and Jackson?
You might want to pick up one of the Rosenkrantz and Redmond books on baby names. They categorize them by type. I like The Baby Name Bible, which came out last year. There's a section on southern names in their book "Beyond Jennifer and Jason Madison and Montana" from about 2000.





Some from their list that aren't too odd are


Abbott


Brett


Clay


Blake


Davis


Jared


Jasper


Jefferson


Kenyon


Kimball


Logan


Macon


Reed


Rhett


Sawyer


Tanner


Travis





They had a good Western list, too.Austin was on it.


Plus these:


Beau


Ben


Brady


Clint


Dallas


Dalton


Jack


Jeb


Jed


Luke


Sam


Wyatt


Zeb





Wyatt is a good one. All boy. And I ended up with a Zane. He's the only Zane in his class, and it's easy to spell, masucline, and unique. My cousin lives in the South and they named their first Jackson and their second son Shade. Found it as a last name in a family cemetery. Kind of cool.





Good luck!
