Retro/Rockabilly boys names

[kfellover]

I made a post about retro girl names that has been really helpful. We had a short list of Dean, Dale, Dewey, Lyle and Floyd for boys. Our favourite is Lyle, but as we got so many different suggestions for girls we’d like to see if there are any suggestions for boys that we haven’t thought of. We like retro names, that are quite uncommon. Someone suggested ‘rockabilly’ which is exactly our type. Any ideas?.

Gene, Jesse.

Jethro, Zeke, Tate, Buddy, Sonny, Clayton, Hank.

Billy. Just look up male country music singers. Question is, why?

PP suggested Gene - love that!

Buddy, Ricky, Eddie, Gene, Duane, Charlie, Elvis, Bobby, Johnny, Lee, Dexter, Billy, Lee.

Really like Gene.

Marvin, Cass

Hal

I like Lyle

Beau
Clint
Waylon
Rhett

Really like Gene and Waylon.

Earl
Roy
Eugene
Buck/ Bucky

Clifford/Cliff
Leonard/Lenny
James/Jimmy
Graham/Gray
John/Johnny
Michael/Mickey
Daniel/Danny
Robert/Bobby

I think rockabilly names were all about the diminutives...

Jethro
Jameson nn Jamie
Clyde
Colton
Cyrus

Why? Can’t your son have his own identity?

What a weird response to OP asking for name suggestions

Absolutely baffled as to why you think a man called Gene can’t have his own identity.

Really like Clyde and Cyrus too.

How would he not?

Delmer
Marvin
Martin
Dewayne / Dwaine

Weird comment about identity… would you say the same if someone wanted floral/nature names? or names from certain religious texts etc?

Lux

That's a soap...

Hank
Olson
Willie
Merle
Wayne
Bruce

Chet
Corey
Jet
Hal
Hank (could call him Henry officially and either Hal or Hank)

Cash.

We like Delmer, Olson and Chet. Some really good suggestions of names we haven’t considered, thank you.
