They say not to judge a book by its cover, but what about a baby by their name? While the little bundles of joy will eventually outgrow their itty bitty baby clothes, a name sticks with you—and can even characterize you—for life. Take Ree's husband, Ladd, for one: With a rugged moniker like his, can you imagine him as anything other than a cowboy? If you're expecting a little cowboy or cowgirl of your own or you're simply searching for a country baby name to represent your rustic heritage, you've come to the right place. Ahead, you'll find a list of the best country baby names for both boys and girls. They're sure to fit your future ranch rugrat to a tee!
The best country baby names start with the classics, like Luke, Bo, and Betsy. And if your favorite Western series has inspired your decision to pick a country baby name, you'll be happy to find a handful of Yellowstone baby names, including Jamie, Kayce, and Beth. Of course, there are plenty of real-life cowgirl and cowboy baby names on this list, like the Drummond's own Paige and Cowboy Josh. Once you pick your favorite, the only thing that's left to do is to find a pair of cute baby cowboy boots for your country cutie!
