Western girl names have the energy of the Old West and so much more. They range from vintage darlings to cowgirl cuties, making finding a favorite a breeze. You can find virtuous charmers and outlaws alike, plus natural names blooming with beauty. Let’s wrangle a few and get to know them better.
Some monikers are unmistakable Western girl names, like Rowdy. This vibrant pick is exploding with adventure, perfectly suiting a little one ready to take life by the reins. Buffy is another natural choice for the great, wide west. She started out as a nickname for Elizabeth, but she’s rebelled from the formal feel to stand on her own. This is also true of Libby, a cutie who can be a form of Elizabeth or short for Liberty.
Famous figures from the Wild West double as amazing western girl names. Annie and the surname Oakley are the most well-known options. Both are linked to skilled sharpshooter Annie Oakley. This tough cookie sure shook up people’s perceptions. Pearl is a fun choice. While dainty and delicate in its gemstone association, the name is also tied to the infamous outlaw Pearl Hart. She was one of the few female gunslingers of the Old West. Kitty is another versatile pick. Connected to the celebrated cowgirl Kitty Canutt, she’s super sweet on the ear. She’s also a nickname for Katherine, so if you have a special one in your life to honor, she’s a top-notch choice. See Calamity, Belle, and Laura for more western names tied to real-life people.
Place names make great western girl names, too. Often unique, they’re a subtle nod to the Old West with history to explore. Calico is a ghost town in California, while Abilene is a place known as “the queen of Kansas cowtowns.” Opt for a stately sweetheart like Arizona or Nevada, or try a place-themed word name like Prairie. Cody offers unisex charm, plus she’s linked to the Rodeo capital of the world, Cody, Wyoming.
