Interesting assumption I will be watching to see if the nameberries are all strawberry shortcake lovers.

Well, I do have a [name]MAJOR[/name] love for aurburn/red/orange hair!! :slight_smile:

I’m not exactly a strawberry shortcake lover though.

…Yes, I have always loved red hair!!! That’s a bit odd isn’t it? [name]Strawberry[/name] shortcake = neutral.

I love reddish hair! (I’m probably biased, though. My hair is auburn and I’ve always received compliments. ;P)

[name]Lucky[/name] you!!

I’ve always disliked red hair actually :confused: mainly because all the girls I met with red/orange hair have fit the stereotype of being stuck up. I have never met a nice red head.

I actually love brown/dark brown hair.

I love auburn hair - this is freaking me out a bit, actually. :slight_smile: Maybe it’s because we love the unique around here, and red hair is rather uncommon (at least, more so than other hair colours).

Oh I’m sorry. I have met many horrible redheads as well but I try to look beyond the steryotyping because that is one of my least favourite things in the world. I think anyone with beautiful hair should be proud of it.

I also love black hair, but I do love red hair more. :slight_smile:

While I think red hair is very pretty, I love dark brown the best. It looks like yummy warm nutty chocolate goodness. [name]Red[/name] would be my second favorite though. Interesting observation.

I think it depends on the face. [name]Red[/name] hair suits some, black hair suits others, blonde hair, brown hair, etc. [name]Red[/name] hair’s quite pretty if you have freckles. I have dark brown hair, olive-y skin and no freckles so I’d look terrible with red hair. Unless it was dark red, maybe.

Still, if I had to make a link between name nerdiness and things, I’d say… CREATIVE WRITING! Naming characters is how I got into names in the first place. :slight_smile:

That’s how I got into naming too: writing :slight_smile:
But I do love red hair, even though it wouldn’t work for me.

I think there may be a better explanation for being a name nerd: love of reading and writing (of which character naming plays a big part of the process). I don’t particularly have a fondness for redheads over any other hair colour but I do appreciate their unique look ( I read that less than 2% of the world’s population are natural redheads. Now, that’s something to celebrate! :)).

I like red hair because it seems daring and unique.
I like names because I like analyzing people, and I think names have a lot to do with have you perceive someone, along with how they shape themselves.

My hair is auburn, but I’ve always secretly wished it were legit red.

I think people who value uniqueness tend to gravitate toward those hair colors, which is probably why so many berries like them.

Oh, this is so funny! I dye my hair bright ginger red, and I’d love to have my hair this color naturally. It suits me so much better than this bland shade of dishwater.

I’ve always linked red hair to the Weasleys so that’s why I like it. Also more recently, [name]Karen[/name] Gillan. (Fangirling)

I never realized this connection! It is very interesting. I’ve always loved red hair. So unique!

I really like red hair, but my favourite hair colour is blonde. I think this is probably because I am a natural blonde, and my OH is a dark blonde, so when I imagine our children, in my head, they have blonde hair.
