Aren’t these just the cutest cowgirl names? I would be lying if I didn’t say I had my own list started of “just in case” names for any potential babies. And I have several on my list that are from these country girl names. 

What’s great about using a western girl name for your daughter is that there are so many great choices. A lot of them even cross-reference some of the names on my Southern Girl Name list, too. And that makes a lot of sense, right? The south and westerns tend to go hand in hand. 

It’s always fun to research name ideas to find out what is out there. And even though I do these posts quite frequently, I’m always amazed at how many new names I find that I absolutely love.  There are just so many pretty southern girl names!

HOW ARE COWGIRL GIRL NAMES DIFFERENT THAN SOUTHERN GIRL NAMES?

In all honesty, there is quite a bit of overlap. But, I will say that there is some difference in the names and that is why I think it’s worth a deserving look. When I think of cowgirls, I can’t help but think of rodeos, rope wrangling, and barrel racing…and then when my mind goes there, I automatically start thinking about all the female country singers as well. 

However, when I think of specifically southern girl names, I tend to learn more on the prim and proper of that edge of southern hospitality. 

So while they can both be looked at in similar categories, I feel that they each do have their own unique aspect as well. 

DO COUNTRY WESTERN GIRL NAMES TEND TO HAVE MORE NICKNAME SPINOFFS THAN OTHER NAMES?

This is a very interesting question. I think that with any name, there is always the chance for a nickname to happen. I don’t think that putting a certain type of name into a category and automatically thinking it will have a shortened version or nickname is really proven.

I will say, however, that the longer the name tends to be, or the more unique girl name that you give, there’s a good chance that it will be shortened or abbreviated to be easier to understand or say for others.

As someone who has had a unique name my whole life, there are times when I’ve felt that having a nickname that is different and more simple could have been a positive experience for everyone involved. 

Have fun looking through all these country baby names for girls. I hope that you’ll find one that just might make you shout out “yee-haw”. (or something like that!)
