I’m looking for names that don’t “scream” redhead (e.j. [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Scarlet[/name_f], [name_f]Ginger[/name_f], [name_f]Crimson[/name_f], etc) -it doesn’t have to mean “red”, I’d actually prefer if it didn’t but instead have more of a subtle hint or a certain feel that just fits with the mental imagery of a redhead, you know?
All replies appreciated.
[name_f]Georgina[/name_f]
[name_f]Jessica[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmanuella[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Rebecca[/name_f]
[name_f]Ailish[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
The only style of name that I do not think works, is an International style name from a country where a majority of their population is dark/brunette (although I could possibly be off base on this observation!). I think you should just choose your favourite name and the name will become your daughter. I know some redheads that happen to be of Irish descent so I would suggest …
[name_f]Oona[/name_f]/[name_f]Una[/name_f]
[name_u]Delaney[/name_u]
[name_f]Molly[/name_f]
[name_f]Moira[/name_f]
[name_f]Erin[/name_f]
I don’t have a favorite name and I won’t be having children anytime soon lol. I love the name [name_f]Moira[/name_f] though, I completely forgot about that name.
[name_f]Meg[/name_f]/[name_f]Megan[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_u]Roan[/name_u]
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f]
[name_f]Pippa[/name_f]
[name_u]Piper[/name_u]
I’m a redhead, and my name is [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. I’ve appreciated that I wasn’t named anything “red”.
I think anything Celtic/Scottish/Irish/Welsh would make a fantastic redhead name.

I know a [name_f]Daria[/name_f] who has red hair, and I remember reading somewhere that [name_f]Daria[/name_f] means something like “fire”. Seems like a perfect choice!
I totally get what you mean! I’ve had trouble trying to find names that would fit a redhead without literal meanings or subtle hints of the colors when composing my list over the years.
My list includes:
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Zadie[/name_f]
[name_f]Talia[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]
[name_f]Tansy[/name_f]
[name_f]Maxine[/name_f]
[name_f]Noa[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Melanie[/name_f]
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Autumn[/name_f]
[name_f]Amber[/name_f] is always the first name that comes to mind when I think redhead! I also know redheads named [name_u]Cheyenne[/name_u], [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], [name_f]Jesseca[/name_f], and [name_f]Julia[/name_f]…
Other names that are associated with red/fire but aren’t obvious;
[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f]
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]
[name_f]Hestia[/name_f]
[name_f]McKenna[/name_f]
[name_f]Oriane[/name_f]
[name_u]Reese[/name_u]
[name_f]Soleil[/name_f]
[name_f]Tanwen[/name_f]
[name_f]Annalie[/name_f]
[name_u]Blake[/name_u]
[name_f]Desiree[/name_f]
[name_u]Finlay[/name_u]
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]

I’m a redhead and my name is [name_f]Karrah[/name_f] (pr. same as [name_f]Kara[/name_f]).
Because red hair is so unique and noticeable, I always picture names that are left field and magical sounding… like literary and mythology names. Anything meaning fiery or feisty is a good fit.
Funny, the only redhead that i know is named [name_f]Karrah[/name_f].
For some reason, i always picture [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] and [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] to be redheads.
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_u]Jamie[/name_u]/[name_u]Jaime[/name_u]
[name_f]Libby[/name_f]
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
[name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]
[name_f]Eileen[/name_f]
[name_f]Kyla[/name_f] is one I have always thought suits a redhead. More so a redhead with curly hair and green eyes.
[name_u]Piper[/name_u]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] (only if she goes by [name_f]Gigi[/name_f])
[name_u]Ember[/name_u] [name_u]Skye[/name_u]
[name_f]Topaz[/name_f]
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]
[name_f]Azar[/name_f]
[name_f]Shula[/name_f]
[name_f]Kalama[/name_f]
[name_f]Etna[/name_f]
[name_f]Anne[/name_f] (Because of [name_u]Green[/name_u] Gables)
[name_u]Ariel[/name_u] (The [name_m]Little[/name_m] Mermaid)
[name_f]Misty[/name_f] (Pokemon)
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] (Both Scooby Doo and Switched at Birth)
Associations are key. None of these names are especially “red” in my opinion, but they’re the names I think of right off the bat.
[name_u]Ember[/name_u], [name_f]Emberly[/name_f], Emberlynn.
For me, anything Irish or possibly Scottish, but not Welsh…the traditional phenotype of someone Welsh is dark hair & eyes.
Redheads I know:
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
[name_f]Emma[/name_f]
[name_f]Kailey[/name_f]
[name_f]Sheryl[/name_f]
[name_f]Clodagh[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Elisa[/name_f]
