Names for a redheaded baby

Girl Names
1

I sort of asked this question on my other thread yesterday but I figured I should just make a thread about it:

What names can you picture on a redheaded girl? [name_f]My[/name_f] boyfriend doesn’t like certain names because he can’t picture them on our future child, who will most likely have red hair.

Names he has approved of, if this gives you an idea of what we are going for:
[name_u]Everly[/name_u]
[name_f]Brynn[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Mila[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmy[/name_f]/[name_f]Emme[/name_f]

[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] is a cute name and it means red haired child. So if you want to be literal it might be for you! :slight_smile:

Obvious [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] and also [name_f]Aria[/name_f], [name_f]Greer[/name_f], [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], [name_f]Millicent[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f] and [name_u]Quinn[/name_u].

[name_u]Red[/name_u]-headed little girl:

[name_f]Jillian[/name_f] nickname [name_f]Janie[/name_f], [name_f]Jillie[/name_f], [name_m]Ian[/name_m], or [name_u]Lian[/name_u] ( like [name_m]Ian[/name_m] with an L )

[name_u]Cade[/name_u], or a name that could be shortened to [name_u]Cade[/name_u], maybe [name_f]Cadence[/name_f]

[name_f]Candace[/name_f], nn [name_u]Cade[/name_u], ace, or andi

[name_u]Finley[/name_u] nn [name_u]Flynn[/name_u], fin, or [name_u]Lee[/name_u]

[name_f]Masha[/name_f] ( MAWsha ) I worked with an adorable little girl years ago who was named this

[name_f]Lark[/name_f], [name_u]Larkin[/name_u], [name_u]Parker[/name_u], or [name_u]Ember[/name_u]
[name_f]Emberly[/name_f], [name_f]Bree[/name_f], [name_u]Leighton/name_u

[name_u]Sydney[/name_u], [name_u]Corin[/name_u], I am picturing her with a spunky tomboy first name paired with a feminine yet low frill middle name, something like:

[name_u]Finley[/name_u] [name_f]Geneva[/name_f]-[name_f]Ruth[/name_f] or [name_u]Remy[/name_u] [name_f]Kiara[/name_f]-[name_f]Jade[/name_f]

[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] would be cute. Also, I know you were back and forth on [name_u]Rory[/name_u] for a girl… but [name_u]Rory[/name_u] means red chief or king(?)

Thank you guys! My favorites are: Scarlett, Isla, Aria, Leighton, Remy (of course), Vivian, Fia (from Fiametta) Ada, and Ivy. I’ll let you know what the boyfriend approves of tonight :slight_smile:

What do you think of Tenley? A little girl at my church is named this and I really think I like it. I know some berries won’t like it because it isn’t the typical Berry style, but I think it has a sweet sound to it.

@emsky I actually liked Rory for that reason! But my boyfriend prefers Remy/Emmy, because it is easier to say, he thinks.

@loudlysilent I’m not really worried about that. Besides, he really has his heart set on Everly, and it’s about the only name he has ever loved for a girl. As long as it isn’t top 100 in the next few years I should be good :slight_smile:

13

[name_f]Tenley[/name_f] is pretty cute. it reminds me of [name_u]Tierney[/name_u].

14

I was a redhead [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] :slight_smile: [name_f]My[/name_f] cousins [name_f]Ella[/name_f] and [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] also had very red hair as toddlers.

I know a very red-headed little [name_f]Alana[/name_f]/[name_f]Lana[/name_f] and I always thought her name was adorable on her.

I would suggest -
[name_f]Gwen[/name_f]
[name_f]Verity[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f]
[name_f]Esme[/name_f]

15

Oh, and [name_u]Tierney[/name_u] is definitely a redhead name in my head. I love how Irish it is and it feels sort of your style?

16

Anything remotely Irish…

I suspected my daughter would have red hair, based on the wholly scientific observation that my son is a ginger. Her name, [name_f]Cassia[/name_f], means ‘cinnamon.’ It wasn’t at all why I chose it for her, but I thought it gave it an extra resonance. And indeed she turned out to be a redhead.

17

He said maybe to [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_u]Leighton[/name_u], and [name_f]Fia[/name_f]. He says he simply doesn’t like the other ones that I like… I know you other berries can relate with the stubborn boyfriend/partner/husband issue. :frowning: Ughhhh.

19

There is only one name that I think suits a red head and it is [name_f]Deidre[/name_f]. I like it a lot.

PS [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] as a middle
