Weāre 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 heās a red head. Any similar name suggestions for ginger boys?? We like traditional names, but nothing too common! š§” open to suggestions as we have no idea and he could arrive any day now X

I donāt think hair colour should have any baring on name choice. Why would the name youāve picked not suit if heās red head?

Louie works š
Be mindful, hair colour changes. My partner was born bright red and heās 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 donāt see why that name wouldnāt suit him if heās 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 donāt know why Iāve always just pictured a dark haired baby but ginger does runš!!! Just worried incase he wouldnāt suit it cos weāve been so set on Louie ahaha xx

but you could say that about literally anything? You donāt know what your baby is going to look like so there could be any number of reasons a name might not āsuitā but if you like the name then it just works.
Donāt 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 sheād 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 𤣠itās 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

this is why my partner didnāt 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

my boy is ginger and heās called Leon meaning Lion š¦š

August

Weāre trying to plan back up ginger names too! š

Russell

Rowan means red one. I think itās a beautiful name. Itās not common but not weird or American or an occupation š¤£

Magnus, Maximus or Leo š„°

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.
