I voted for Stetson Wayne, but I prefer them in reverse order: Wayne Stetson. I really like it! It's very "Western" and "cowboy" like to me, but I actually find that very appealing and manly. I just think that Stetson Wayne is a little more over-the-top in Western-ness--reminds me of the Stetson hat, and the Stetson man....


Cody is okay, but it reminds me of Kathy Lee Gifford's kid, so that would detract me from the name...


Best wishes to you!

Oooo! I think that Stetson is a very strong masculine name, I voted for that one.

Good luck to you!

I noticed your screen name has rodeo in it...and your names do sound very Western and cool! I voted for Lane, though, because I think it will carry with him even if he decides that the cowboy thing is not for him.

I live in central Texas and my DH is pastor at a rural church (lots of ranchers)...here are some names that we hear a lot for boys...

Tyler

Hagan

Kaleb

Laramie (girls and boys)

Jack

Justin

Kris

Samuel/Sam

Jaime

Zane

Zachary

Colt/Colton

Tony

Its nice to hear Stetson used ... i have only heard it once. I like Steston but Wayne is nms. If it is a family name though, it would get my vote. I do like Cody too, i think it is very cute, we almost named our first some Cody Christopher. I also LOVE Ty but mostly as a nn for Tyler, but by itself its nice. The only one i dont care for on your list is Lane. I kno a couple little girls named Alana that go by Lane as a nn so i see it as a girls name, JMO! Good luck HTH!

Hey all! Well the history of the names I have listed goes like this:

Lane is, of course, after Lane Frost, World Champion Bull Rider

Ty Murray (although in HIS case, Murray is his last name) is the 7-Time All Around Cowboy

Stetson is obviously after the hat

Wayne is my brother's, father's, and grandfather's middle name

Cody is after one of Lane's best friends. (Tuff Hedeman was his OTHER friend!)

Lee is my DH's middle name

My better half is a bull rider, and I barrel race, so we definately have a love for horses and want our boy's name to represent that.

Thanks for all your opinions!!
