Redneck Names

Kayden for males, apparently.

Is ‘Kayleigh’ ok? What about the more exotic ‘K’Lée’?

I believe the least literate I’ve seen is “Britanee”

All of the above plus:

Caden

Cody

Hunter, tiffany, Casey, Chad, Colton, Blaze and on and on.....

Nevaeh ("Heaven" backwards, get it? SO cute!)

Karsyn

Colton

Kolder

Kayden

DAKOTA - boy or girl

Kaydence

Hayleigh

I have a distant little cousin named Reighlee - pronounced Riley. It makes me want to scream.

I miss when red necks just named the kids Crystal and Tiffany and Wayne.

Anything with Lynn or Lee attached

Isn’t Chad more of a preppy name?

Jim Bob

Betty Jo

Billie Jean

Bobby Ray

The ultimate Redneck name = BUBBA!

R13 I’ve known lots of rednecks, hicks etc... and I’ve never met someone with Bubba as their actual name. It is a nickname and is usually bestowed by a brother or sister who as a child can’t say brother.

Any name related to firearms. For example, Smith, Wesson, and Remington.

Ivanka Eric Donald Jr. Tiffany Barron

I've been seeing "Rylan." Wtf is that?

Colt/Colton

Aubrey

Shane, Trey for boys.

Weston

Rylan

Ryland

Rylee

Aubree

Amberleigh

You will always find at least one Tammy in a trailer park. Trust me.

Billy Ray, who was a preacher's son.

revor, Travis and Tracee live right next door, with their drunken ass father and a mother that looks like she'd blow away in a light breeze and with an expression that would freeze fire. They're constantly looking into car windows and driving cars with chalked pricing still on the windshield.

Did I mention they have a dog they call Trixie?

Another neighbor has daughters all named with a D' in front, as in "D'Linda" and "D'Lori".

Shurleen luvs Curtis.

Robbie

funny of funnies time. I'm Italian-American and have a cousin named Chad. Now the spouse he has a cousin named Tammy short for Tamara which is an interesting name.

Any city or state: Madison, Raleigh, Paris, Dakota, blah blah blah

In the backwoods it’s hick names like Bebe, Bobby, Dale, Denny, Derwood,, Dewey, Doug, Early, Eddie, Galvin, Glenn, Gordy, Hershel, Jackson, Jeff, Jesse, Kenny, Krystal, Lil, Lula, Randy, Ray, Ricky, Rube, Rusty, Scotty, Vicki, Walker...

Seconding Bubba, and I third that Tammy is top of the Hellbilly Horror list. One family member per cabin/trailer must also have a nonsensical nickname like Clowny, Peanut, Lerm, Chip/Corndog or Gaga.

That would make me one of the Dukes of Hazzard!

Trey is used to be "the third" and is more of an upper class Southern thing. Or at least middle class pretentious.

Meryl

Whatever happened to the classics, so to speak, like Virgil and Homer?

And Trey was a nickname. Do people now name their children Trey? What's next? Naming them Trip?

R31, I met a guy in Connecticut who was called “Trois”. Pronounced sort of like “lowest”; not the French way. He was a “third”, but I guess his family wanted to be different. Suburban, upper middle class white kid.

SMDH

Zeke. Darlene.

I knew a very hot waspy preppy guy named Tripp. I’ve never heard a redneck with that name. It’s for the the third son like Trey but I think Tripp is more upper crust. We moved to the south when I was a teenager and literally every other guy was named Travis or Wayne in the red neck area of town. The year book was insane.

Bristol. Connor. Duke. Heather.

Delmar, Ezart, Lonnie

Nicknames that are actually given names (e.g., Billy and Larry aren't short for anything ... they're their real names).

R36 Isn't Tripp the name of one of Sarah Palin's kids...or extended family...of whatever clusterfuck that group is.

R39 I know a Dick who is really a Dick, not a Richard. Also, a true Larry and a true Don. Oh, yeah, here's a treat. Don and Dick are twins!

R39. Well said. I have encountered that a number of times.

Chasten, sorry to say. But did his parents consult a dictionary first?

I peripherally knew some genuine Arkansas shitkickers whose propensity for hillbilly names extended to their dog, a small poodle (of all things), whose name was Bye-Joe, which is what they called him/her. One day I looked at the name tag on Bye-Joe's collar. "Bye-Joe" was just how they pronounced Bijou.

Dale for a man.

I will personally never understand why you folks care so much about some stranger’s name. Who gives a fuck!

I have a 3 legged cat named Trey.

[quote]I have a 3 legged cat named Trey.

If he lost his other three legs, you could call him Tray.

Anything that ends in -us. Cletus, Josefus, Imus, Remus, etc.

Brooke Lynn

R14's list reminds me of Cletus and his kids in The Simpsons

I mean R29...

These are all real names hick trash have taken to in those parts at one point in time or another.

Just, not Frank(lin) or Kent for a son. Never don’t nobody not never no how. Best not give any kids the names Ash, Allen, Louis/a, Lex, Scott, Cory, Corbin, Danny, Dawson, Drake, Doug, Earl, Eddy, Paris, Regis, Fulton, Liv, Devon, Thomas, Nick, Dixon, Cynthia, Ruth, Nancy, Bonnie, Josephine, Billy, Henderson, Holly, Maggie, Trina, Calvin, Floyd, Keene, Murray, Campbell, Lil, Bud, Lawrence, Kingsley, Russ, Roseanne, Sterling, Matt, Sally, Blackie, Sadie, Waylan, Woody, Hanson, Vance(!), Taylor, Clover, Clint, River, Smith, Shelby, Sandy, Preston, Trent, Tolbert, Blane, Willis, Gus, Flo, Ford, Mitch, Fannie or Randy either - for similar obvious reasons.

You’re taking a chance with the likes of Brooke, May, Liza(-Beth), Blue, George, Clark, Carol, Grayson, Glen, Vern, Moore, Morgan, Hasil/Hazel, Hart, Harlan, Hunter, Jameson, Jefferson, Jackson, Pike, Parker, Perry, Belle, Brock, Buck, Rich, Liberty, Chester, Clay, Mack, Winn, Marty, Maddie, Lynn, Raven, Albany, Marianne, Summer, Lewis & Faye(tte)...

R55 You might not like those names, but many of them are just normal names.

R56 likely so, in other parts of the States.

When it comes to Big Sandy/Buchanan, though, there are many hillbillies and most of them with names that speak of where they you come from louder than a bell. I’m just giving you some mountain ethnography for general interest. Feel free to take it or leave it as you see fit.

Derek

Does anyone name their kids Jennifer or Christopher anymore?

Destiny, Jackson, Jayden …

Jimmy, Johnny, any nicknames used as a real, official name.

Incorrectly spelt names, such as Chlöe and Jayson.

Names taken from random Biblical words, such as Selah or Jireh, especially when they aren't pronounced correctly . Random Biblical names that were taken with no regard for actual meaning or context such as Mahlon (= מחלון = "sickness" = an allegorical name in the Book of Ruth).

Betty, Barbara, Jo, Cindy, Evelyn, Donald, Dorothy, Wilma, MaryAnn, Susan,Earl, Harold, John, Lillian, Vera etc.

once worked with a gorgeous blue eyed built guy who unfortunately was a) a ass hole utterly stuck on himself and b) whose first name was CLETE! clete??

speaking of red neck names and really stupid ones, there is that state rep from oklahoma named markwayne mullins... MARK and WAYNE put together! what kind of white trash name is that! seriously! say it out loud and imagine your talking to a young boy and calling him by that name?

Tommy

Tiffany

Most definitely Tiffani

Dwayne

R45 Also Dana.

R48 ...And don't forget to tip your waitress, bada boom.

I'm waiting for a baby girl named Clit or Vulva. I know it's coming. I just know it.

I love Cher as much as the next queen but what possessed her to name a baby Chastity??

R61 those are just basic baby boomer names
