Name for ginger boy 🧔

We’re most likely going to be calling our baby boy Louie (me & dad both have dark hair). We do have some ginger running down both lines and have started to think Louie may not suit him if he’s a red head. Any similar name suggestions for ginger boys?? We like traditional names, but nothing too common! 🧔 open to suggestions as we have no idea and he could arrive any day now X

I don’t think hair colour should have any baring on name choice. Why would the name you’ve picked not suit if he’s red head?

Louie works 😊 Be mindful, hair colour changes. My partner was born bright red and he’s turned dark brown at 1. I was white blonde as a child and am now a reddish-brown.

I think Louie would be perfect for any color hair

I like Louie.. I don’t see why that name wouldn’t suit him if he’s a red head… my son could potentially be as I am naturally but his name will not be changing depending his hair colour x

I don’t know why I’ve always just pictured a dark haired baby but ginger does runšŸ˜‚!!! Just worried incase he wouldn’t suit it cos we’ve been so set on Louie ahaha xx

@Georgia but you could say that about literally anything? You don’t know what your baby is going to look like so there could be any number of reasons a name might not ā€˜suit’ but if you like the name then it just works. Don’t get hung up on hair colour

Leo like a lion !

For my whole pregnancy I was set on the name Sylvie for my little girl but knew deep down she’d be a red head cause both me and her dad are red heads. The second me and her dad looked at her when she was born we agreed her name was Aubrie 🤣 it’s weird how your mind changes when you actually see them

I have an Ezra who is a red head and a Elijah who is going red, I really loved the name fox but Ezras nickname was little fox

@Ella-Rae this is why my partner didn’t want to confirm a name 100% before he was born! I actually agree has he be born looking way different ahaha xx

Joey and Frankie are names I see on red heads also Tobias nicknamed Toby or just Toby

Some little ginger haired boys I know are: Toby Rory Louis Joseph

Reid literally means red haired I think and I love the name!! xx

@Elise my boy is ginger and he’s called Leon meaning Lion 🦁😊

We’re trying to plan back up ginger names too! šŸ˜‚

Russell

Rowan means red one. I think it’s a beautiful name. It’s not common but not weird or American or an occupation 🤣

Magnus, Maximus or Leo 🄰

I have a red haired Rory ā¤ļø

Flynn (son of the red haired one) Rohan (red haired) Rowan (little red one) Rory (red king) Radley (from the red meadow) Keegan (fiery) Finn (fire) Reed/Reid (red)

Hair color can change after birth. I was born with dark hair, then it turned red, then blonde, then brown. If I spend enough time in the sun you can see every color in my hair. My cousin was born with dark hair and it is now very red.
