Neo-cowboy names

“Cowboy names was one of our big trends that we identified for 2022,” says Kihm. “Dutton was the fastest-rising boy name of the year.” It took off so much, in fact, that the experts are already seeing fatigue around the trend. “I'm starting to get people in consults who say, ‘Absolutely no country-western names,’” says Slagen. “So I think it's starting to feel too trendy to people. It was a trend before Yellowstone, but that definitely confirmed it.”

While cowboy names are still popular, for now, there's a slight twist to the trend in 2023 among baby boy names: the neo-cowboy. As Kihm explains, “You have softer names like Silas that still have a little bit of a Western edge—you could picture it on a cowboy, but it has soft sounds.”
