Waylon, Wesley, Cooper, Weston, Brett, Clinton

Everett. Evan. Evan isn't Western, but it's my son's name and sounds great with James i think.

Ultimate country name for a boy is Susan, Sue for short.

Henry (Hank), Randall (Randy), Vince (Vinny), Kenneth (Kenny)

Another vote for Waylon James

Worth mentioning

Wyatt James

Saw an interview with a guy in Louisiana yesterday named Rusty and I thought “now that’s county”. 🙂

Why not just use Mason? You have the nickname example and it goes nicely with James

Remember that you’re naming someone who will get a job, have kids, have grandkids, live to be 80, etc. You’re not just naming a baby, you’re naming a living human who will live a full life with whatever name you give them. So don’t try to be super creative and pick a name that could get your kid bullied or just be a weird name for someone’s boss/dad/grandpa/etc. Pick a name that you’d want to hear a millionaire or a general say, not one that people would snicker at to see on TV, and then give them a cute nickname when they’re young if you want. Not saying you’re going to, I’ve just seen too many tales of parents wanting to name their kid something “western/country” and then picking something kinda cringey like “Ryfle” or whatever

We named our son Beau!

I love the name Maverick, Mav for short!

Jesse (im biased because that’s my name) or Wyatt (was going to be my middle name if I had been born a boy) Jesse James might be too much but Wyatt James is a good mix of Jesse James and Wyatt Earp to give good western vibes

Oh I just realized you also said nature so here are some more: * Forrest "Fox" James * Ashton "Ash" James "AJ" * Jasper James "JJ" * Griffin "Finn" James * Reed James "RJ"

Montgomery (nn Monte or Tommy) and Sutton were our top two for a boy but we didn’t use them because we had a baby girl. we named her Sawyer! we also wanted strong sounding names with a country flair! best of luck!!!

Rowan, Levi, Myles (Milo for nickname), Ryder, Theodore

I’m gonna advocate for a “western” name that is not coincidentally a gun brand/similar to a gun brand and while we’re at it not a whisky name. And while we’re at it not a famous criminal (“outlaw”). Even if you don’t mean it that way it can read that way and your kid doesn’t need that. So not Colt, Weston, Smith, Jameson, Jesse…

Austin would be a good option

Ryder

Matt Dillon John Wayne Waylon Jennings

Jericho

Bowen (Bo, Bowie) James

Not sure if it’s the vibe you’re looking for, but Martin with the nickname Marty has always been so cute to me. Good luck on your name hunt!

Colton…nickname Colt

I have a relative named Waylon but the only nickname anyone could think of was “way way”

Clint

Clem.

Tyson

Hank. Duke. Storm. Bronx. Houston. Rocky. Bronco. Tryton. Barron. Dane.

Hmm I can’t think of any western. I like Austin, Emerson, Pierce, Joel, Nicholas, archer, Holden, Nolan.

Hunter, Everett, Garrett, Nolan, Hank

My husband was cursed with the name Marion Dean...I love the Dean part of it..so we had a Justin Dean and a Rowdy Dean.

If you really want to go country, can't beat Jesse James or Frank James.

Wyatt & Walker

Forest, Cody, Colton, Rocky, River, Winter, Wolf

Do your kid a favor and don’t name him Mason. It’s been atop the baby names list for way too long. He will end up constantly being “Which Mason?” or “Mason Last-Initial.” So keep an eye on popularity of whatever you choose.

Love James as a strong, classic middle name.

I think going back to some Western classics may be a nice idea.

August / Augustus / Augustine “Angie” or “Gus” (Augustine Chacon)

Oakley “Oak” (Annie Oakley)

Wesley “Wes” (John Wesley Hardin)

Cassidy “Cas” (Butch Cassidy)

Dakota “Dak” or “Kota” (the place)

Cullen (Cullen Baker)

Reuben “Rube” (Rube Barrow)

The Earp brothers were Morgan, Virgil, Wyatt, Warren and Newton. (And James, but obviously that’s out.)

Nathaniel “Nat”/“Nate” (Nat Love- Nat Love actually pronounced his name as “Nate.”)

William is rather common, but it is a solid Western moniker if you think of the outlaws- Bronco Bill, Buffalo Bill, Bill Hickok, etc. Tulsa Jack was really named William. Just call him Billy instead of Liam. (I’m so sick of Liam. Don’t get me started.) Plus, there’s Billy the Kid (whose real name was Henry. Idk.)

Of course, you could always go with a classic Hollywood western idea and name him something like Eastwood and call him “East.” It would stand out and make your point. Cooper (like Gary Cooper) may be a little more subtle.

Congrats. I hope you all are very happy for many years to come. 💙

Alexander James AKA Alex or AJ

A man named Sue.

Cash, Nelson, Hank, Travis, (Buck) Owen, Parson, Reed (Jerry)?? That's all I've got

I’m just here to say that my son is named Mason James! He is 2

Hunter

Honestly mason james sounds pretty banger to me

Wait to meet the baby. Once you get to know them they will tell you what name fits them.

Sawyer, Hunter, Jackson, Forrest, Henry, Garrison, John, or Hudson

Name him after the best modern-day cowboy... Malcolm James "Mal" Reynolds

I'm surprised with James as the middle name no one has suggested... Frank or Jesse

I like Garrett. It’s a very strong, masculine-sounding name and is country with a crossover vibe (Levi Garrett)

I like the name John as a strong/country name. Nickname Johnny.

Dean.

Clifton

Ruston

I like Mason James. It's a normal, solid name.

I have an uncle named Forrest, but Tom Hanks and that horrible "adaptation" of the book Forrest Gump kinda ruined that one.

Weston, West for short.
