Who knew girls names were so hard

We recently found out we were having a girl, and to say the names are going to be a struggle to narrow down is an understatement!!

Im very much into American country/western vibes, and for boys names I had it narrowed down to Mason or Wyatt. But can I get a girls name that I like.

Anything country themed for girls seems to be like Charlotte, or Delilah, and they aren't doing it for me.

I had thought of Reba Mae or Jessie (after Jesse James 🤠) Mae but I'm just not sure.

Unisex names like Sawyer or Oakleigh is out of the question as my partner is adamant they are boys names, which I kinda get.

Has anyone ever thought along these lines? Has anyone any suggestions I might not of heard of?

That's worse than Teddy for a boy.

Please don't 🤦🏼‍♀️

I’ve come across a little girl named Billie recently and a couple of Goldie’s! (Possibly short for Marigold)

Just use Wyatt? I always assume Wyatt’s are girls initially, love it either way
I know you said no unisex but you also suggested Jessie which is unisex

i just googled female country western singers and this is what came up

I had done the same, but there's so many that my partner doesn't like!

Reba was for from Reba McIntyre, the queen of country herself!

And then when you know someone with a name, like savannah or Leanne etc, you just don't want to have it as name 🫣
