Country baby names: 100+ country style baby names for boys and girls

Country baby names are so much more than Nashville, guitars and cowboys - they’re unique, creative and full of history.

Choosing your baby's name is a huge deal and the pressure to get it right is very real. How does it sound shortened? What would the full initials spell? Does if go with their surname? There are just so many variables to consider. And we have you covered with as much choice to narrow down as possible.  Now, fans of unique baby names or a cool unisex baby name, will love country baby names. In the southern states of America, it’s tradition for babies to be given their grandmother’s maiden name as their first name, which may account for most popular baby names like Taylor, Brantley and Marshall.

Then of course there’s country music, which has given us legends like Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash – singers that have interesting histories and record authentic songs full of stories and heartbreak. It’s no surprise that names inspired by the music – such as Cash, Loretta and Patsy – are becoming more popular with parents in the States and further afield.

Jennie Longdon, a presenter on Absolute Radio Country, considered a country name for her first-born son Bear. “Country music is a celebration of roots, close family bonds, hometown pride and real, true love,” she tells us. “When we think of starting or expanding a family, things like honesty, trust, dependability, and memory-making are all fundamental factors we hope for.”

She continued: “Something that I’ve discovered when looking through the options is that so many country legends have first and last names that could both be considered. Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn, Buck Owens… Think two for the price of one!”

So, whether you love a bit of honky-tonk or just want a name that’s a bit more unique, check out our list of country baby names. Here’s to seeing a lot more kids called Dolly, Reba or Blake in the future – yee-haw!
