The winner of the Country & Western names was Scarlett. According to behindthename.com Scarlett comes from a surname which denoted a person who sold or made clothes made of a type of cloth called scarlet.

Our next round consists of English names. Now these are not names that have English origin, but rather names that are viewed as being English. For instance, Eliza, Victoria, Alistair, and Godfrey are on the list. Have fun!
