Each year, the Social Security Administration publishes an extensive list of the 1,000 most popular names given to babies born in the previous year. And in the 2024 report, there were some clear trends that are pushing unique new names higher up the charts than ever before. One of them is called Rhinestone Cowboy Name. It’s an edgy, Western-style baby name with a bit of attitude and nostalgic personality. Perhaps they remind you of classic country music icons or Wild West bandits. In some cases, it honestly sounds like the name of a professional bullfighter. Either way, these baby names are reserved for the coolest new cowpoke.
ace
This name oozes coolness. It’s perfect for parents who want their kids to be smart, easygoing, and the best at everything they do.
Hattie
To me, Hattie seems like she can ride anything at 4 feet, build her own fences, and kick just fine. If you’re looking for a peppy girl’s name with a bit of country charm, I love Hattie.
sunny
Are you thinking of having another child purely to use this name? Maybe. Although it’s sometimes used as a nickname for Italian names like Salvatore and Santino, Sonny itself gives it a major Western cool cowboy energy.
waylon
If you want a name with a Western edge, look no further than our list of country music’s “outlaws,” including one of the greats, Waylon Jennings. The name is of Scandinavian origin and means “land by the road,” perfect for would-be ranchers who someday want large acres somewhere in the middle of nowhere.
winona
Most people think of Winona Ryder when they hear this name, but it was also made famous by iconic country singer Wynonna Judd (although her spelling is obviously much less common). If you’re looking for a southern, soulful girl’s name, this is it.
