Naming Style in Oklahoma — Cowboy, Native American, oil-country

Oklahoma dog naming runs cowboy-and-Native. Western and country influence is heavy — Tex, Boone, Cash, Maverick, Belle, Daisy, Sadie. The Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Creek nations have a real presence and Native American naming surfaces: Cheyenne, Dakota, Tulsa (a Creek word), Nokona. Oil-and-gas wealth produces some flashy picks (Diamond, Ace) but the dominant register is Western working-dog. Sooners football pushes Sooner, Boomer.
