If we're counting modern westerns I recommend Wind River(2017)

Why are so many characters in westerns named "Ringo" or "Johnny Ringo"

Also when I'm watching Grit, there are naturally a lot of movies that take place during or just after the US civil war and I always hear people referring to confederates as "Johhny Reb/Rebel"

Besides Yankee, did the southerners ever have a name for northerners like "George Yankee" or "Jimmy Yankee" or some poo poo?

Billy Yank.

Plus everyone in Tombstone is John, Johnny or Jack. Johnny Tyler, John Beehan, Johnny Ringo, Jack Johnson, Jack Vermillion..

Bonus to Bill Brocius, Billy Breckenridge, Billy Clanton and Billy Claiborne.
