Red

[GRW]

What do people think of Red or Redmond for a boy? I saw the American Red Gerard win Gold in the slopestyle snowboarding today. I hadn't heard the name before but like it.

Shawshank Redemption

Nope

[AmberTopaz]

I know one. It’s not short for anything - just Red.

[Rainboho]

I like it!

[scampiesandchips]

Love it, but prefer it for a girl

[BewareOfDragons]

Redmond is apparently an Iirish boy's name. I rather like it!

[Mrsknackered]

I like Red, not so keen on Redmond

[NewYearNiki]

Reminds me of Red from Fraggle Rock

[Dizzybacon]

My horse was called Red

[Username12345]

Nice.

Wasn't it the dads name in the 70s show?

[KalaLaka]

I like it

[SuperBeagle]

I looove Redmond/Red.

I commented on how great a name it was when we were watching Red Gerard.

Use it!

[mikeyssister]

I'm Irish and only know Redmond as a surname. Red would be a nickname in Ireland.

[FarmerSee]

I prefer Red to Redmond, but in all honesty I personally dislike both

[Charismam]

I knew one. It was his real name.

Redford

I think Red as a name would be weird in job interviews (especially if ginger as it does sound like a nickname) but Redmond or Redford shortened to Red sound good. You'd also need to be careful if your last name is a noun or sounds like one - I knew someone whose full name was something like Blue Robin and it came off as very twee.

[Charismam]

Redmond is a normal name. Red short for redmond is not too weird for an interview!! 🤣

[FlyingSoloFlyingFree]

Knew this would be about the snowboarder.

Makes me think of Jilly Cooper! But I do love it and think it’s cool although I knew someone irl and his name was sometimes misheard as Reg - not quite so cool 😂

[Elfyn]

I like Red, not keen on Redmond — seems more like a surname than a first.

[Petalflowers]

I thought it was quite cool also, and well done on Red on getting the gold.

Only if you plan a big family and also have a:
Yellow
Pink
Green
Orange
Purple
And green!

[FindingNormal]

Live it. Was my 'boy' name but I had 2 girls instead.

[Yettilegs11]

I quite like it maybe spelt as Redd..

Or...

Rede
Redi
Redge

Glad I’m not the only one who instantly thought of Fraggle Rock. Now I’ve got the theme tune going through my head.
