If there’s one genre that has the best names to use for inspiration if you’re expecting a little one, it’s country music.

I mean, the names of the artists are often as unique as their music, and you won’t hear a lot of them anywhere else. I know of one Dolly Parton on this earth, and though it would be hard to live up to that name, it’s so dang cute and unique that it really would be adorable for a little girl.

And then you have names like Waylon and Jennings both becoming increasingly popular for little boys as first names, which I absolutely love.

Not only is country music full of tons of great songs, there’s a lot of inspiration in the lyrics and characters in the tunes, as well as the cities they’re produced in, that offer some great name ideas, too.
