Help[Opinions] On Southern US Names.
in reply to a message by LMS
As a Southerner, I'd say that if you look at what is generally popular in the US, you will find that that is popular in the South too.
A lot of older, more traditional names are also pretty popular.
Mary Something is very popular in the South (Margaret, Katherine, Claire, etc.)
Caroline
Charlotte
Hattie is becoming a big thing here, too.
Harper (a nod to Harper Lee).
Grace & Gracie
Madison
Boys are pretty traditional. Last names as first names are common. Jackson is super popular. I've met so many Olivers.
On the Gulf Coast & near New Orleans most people I know have very Catholic names or French names, either in their first name or last name.
Amelie
Estelle
Claire
Pierre & Jacques... so much.
I know more about the Alabama-Mississippi-Louisiana area. The eastern seaboard & Arkansas/Tennesee/Kentucky might be different.
