Cowgirl names!
Hi Berries,
I was up a lot last night with my daughter, and kept myself amused by coming up with some rootin tootin cowgirl names! Here are a few i came up with (can't remember all of them i don't think!). Although most of them aren't cowgirl names as such, but they give me the wild-west vibe-
Clementine
Abilene
Matilda
Annie
Nellie
Virginia
Rosalie
Clara
Sadie
Any more ideas?Mama to beautiful Juniper Elise and ttc#2
Loving: Susannah, Celeste, Delphine, Coralie, Etta, Maybelle, Lucille ~ Arlo, Nathaniel, Asa, Edward

Nothing for Jane? Calamity Jane and Belle Starr are who I think of first when I think of cowgirls.
Aside from those two:
Completely agree on Annie - as in Annie Oakley, Annie Get Your Gun, etc.
Martha (both the fictional True Grit heroine and the real Calamity Jane's first name) I find the NN Mattie to be pretty spunky.
Dove/Dovie - both because it's a name that was popular in the 1880s western records of settlers that has really fallen almost entirely out of use anymore, and because of the western Lonesome Dove.
Laura - Little House on the Prairie
Willa - As in Willa Cather. Billie, too.
Caroline - Ma from Little House. I always, reading the books, thought Ma was rather underplayed for how strong she was.
Icie - one of the Lost Names of 1880 I got from Nameberry. It was probably a variant on Icesis/Isis though. Rather sweet in a bizarre way.
I can kind of see Clementine, as it's got the whole folk song thing... but then Susannah probably deserves a mention too.
A lot of old classic names' spunkier nicknames feel very cowgirl to me... the names themselves are more ladylike but the nicknames feel freckled and cute and bouncy... I'm thinking of Pepper, Birdie, Penny, Sally type nicknames.
