Southern Baby Names
Southern baby names are thought to be very beautiful as it takes us
back to a bygone era of beautiful memories relating to lovely
looking women who sipped their refreshing mint drinks while they
gossiped. So that is the beauty of selecting southern baby names
for your kids.
It is also a well-known fact that the Southerners are famous for
time honoured names that are classic such as “Anna” or “Jane” or
“Mary” as well as for naming double names or family names. For
example, if your beloved father or uncle or grandfather is
“Gregory” the Southern way would be to name the baby “Mary Gregory”
and that would be her name for the rest of her life and not just
“Mary.” Lets take another family name such as “Scott”, so your
child would be then called “Jane Scott” for all her life and not
simply as “Jane.”
The advantage of such kind of double name is that your child has a
solid, traditional name that will always be a classic name because
it won’t ever be outdated or forgotten or mispronounced at all. If
you remember some of the famous works of Tennessee Williams, you
would be able to recall how the writings were deeply rooted in the
southern US setting so even the names such as Flora, Violate,
Blanche and Chance are examples of some of the famous Tennesse
Williams naming of female characters, all of which were distinct
southern names by all means. The first time you come across or hear
southern name, it would stay in your mind because it seems always
very distinct. Take the example of the name Adelaide Eugenia and so
on.
If you are a movie buff, you may have watched the movie, Steel
Magnolias, that was dotted with lots of southern names such as
Jackson, Spud, Truvy, Shelby, and Annelle, just to mention a few.
Due to the fact that a lot of Southerners are considered to be
religious in general, the names of virtues have always been very
popular southern baby names. Names such as “Faith”, “Hope” and
“Prudence” are just a few examples that underly this cultural
bonding across most Southerners who value virtues with a lot of
fervor. For your choice, you can definitely go ahead and check all
those names that sound southern and very real.
