Having grown up in Virginia, a lot of southern names were encountered. There were two types: the more aristocratic southern names and those that were from the rural areas. In the first group, names were often taken from ancestors. They sometimes go by their first and middle name. Examples:
– Patti Russell
– Mary Hufford
– Carter Crutchfield
– John Barry

For the country folk, the names are simpler:
– Mae Donna
– Ann Marie
– Katie Lee

I once met a girl from Alabama. Her name was Southern. She told me that her sisters’ names were Dixie and Rebel. You can’t get much more ‘south of the Mason-Dixon line’ than that.
