I do wonder where the movies got the ideas for the names of the cowboys. Some of them are pretty out there. I've got a list of the wackier ones I've seen around somewhere.
Like, Quirt? What is that?
Sky seems reasonable compared to Quirt.
I wouldn't be surprised if most of the names we think of as "cowboy names" like
Red and
Buck were actually nicknames so cowboys wouldn't have to go around being called
Virgil and
Orville or something
