Jo doesn't sound Southern to me, it sounds redneck. Sorry. Maybe that's changing, kind of like how Mae is coming back, but I come from the Appalachian south and that's a redneck name.

I think you could do a nice Southern sounding name right now with a middle name of Claire, Ellen or Jane. Like Clara Jane, Alice Jane, or Ruby Claire, or Reese Ellen, etc., etc.

That said, I just read on Nameberry that Dixie is making a comeback....Dixie Jo?

Carolina

Emma

Sara

Sadie

Mary

Liza

Nan

The quintessential Southern thing, too, is to do some family last name with Mary, Ann, Kate, etc. and then use both. I went to college with lots of those. Think Ann Wintrhop, but as a first name. That kind of thing.

Sadie was my first thought.

I like Sadie Jo. Are you wanting to have a double first name? Or would you just call her Sadie? Double names are very southern.

lovehim05 · May 2009

Yes it would be a double first name.

missmisery · May 2009

I know several Bobbie Jo's. I also like Mae for the second name. I have a friend that just named her baby Sadie Mae, which I love.

i think bronwyn sounds very southern-- although i dont have a suggested middled name. but its sophisticated and classic, yet a touch of the unusual. good luck!!

mbs07 · May 2009

Growing up, I new a Gary Lynn and a Bobby Sue (from two different families). I'm not sure I like having a masculine first for a baby girl though, and I especially wouldn't do that if Jo is the middle.

maltwin1 · May 2009

I tend to agree that "_______ Jo" sounds red-neck and not southern. Is Jo a family name? If not, maybe you have some other family name that would work well as a double name. I know a Mary Catherine (my sister), Catherine Ann, Anne Rob, Sara Hart, Anne Marie, Martha Ellen and loads of others all using family names. I think a double name sounds less red-necky if it has some sort of family meaning.

lovehim05 · May 2009

Yes, Jo is a family name.....after my aunt who has terminal cancer. Sorry if it may sound redneck, I plan to use it. Thanks for all of the advice.

Savannah Jo sounds very Southern! I LOVE Savannah.

?

soon-to-beamrs · May 2009

My first thought was Savannah too - love that name!

CourtneyRDH · June 2009

I love Savannah too!?Sarah Jo sounds super southern. Love it

Caroline Jo

Evelyn Jo

Bethany Jo

Elizabeth Jo

Melanie Jo?

BinksMomma3016 · June 2009

I dont know if it goes with Jo but I love the name Delilah. it is a very southern name! Delilah Jo or even Lilah Jo

leslada · June 2009

One of our top contenders right now is Myra Jane (jane is my MILs name). Myra is my Great Mamaw's name who lived in NC. We live in Chicago so we aren't in the south but I feel like Myra Jane sounds southern. What about Myra Jo?

missbeasley · June 2009

Lana Jo , Avery Jo

MrsHengel · June 2009

I know a Kaley Jo.

Nah, maybe I watched too much Petticoat Junction when I was a child, but Bobby Jo, Billy Jo and Betty Jo were always incredibly Southern to me.

That said, I just read on Nameberry that Dixie is making a comeback....Dixie Jo?

I think I like that.

The quintessential Southern thing, too, is to do some family last name with Mary, Ann, Kate, etc. and then use both. I went to college with lots of those. Think Ann Wintrhop, but as a first name. That kind of thing.

No, quintessential is a family surname as a first name. Like Scarlett O'Hara, which was her father's mother's family name, and Rhett Butler, whose name was a family surname on his mother's side. Harper Lee is another example. Oooh, Harper Jo.

I have no good usable surnames. Crap.
