Hey Ladies, I'm a born and bred Texan, and was just thinking about some Texas inspired names....beyon the obvious, Tyler, Austin, Houston, Sam, Dallas etc...what do you think? for boys AND girls. Emily Robison (she's part of the Dixie Chicks) named her daughter Juliana Tex, so I think this might be where I'm getting the inspiration from...can ya'll help me out?
