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.

is it good or bad to be rakish!?

I think in this context it is good! I put Rory in the same category.

As far as rakish is concerned I wasn't meaning anything predatory

It’s pretty cool actually isn’t it. He’d have to grow up to be something cool... like a snowboarder...

I know a Red! Short for Frederick.

Actually I also know an adult Red but he's Moroccan so not sure if it's short for something else.

I like it.

I quite like it. I know one (short for Reduan.)

I love Redmond (Red).

I don't mind the sound of it, reminds me of Ted, Ned, Fred. It's quite out there. I don't like the association with violence though which it has a bit for me, for the same reason I'm not so keen on the name Mars.

I like Redmond, Red will be a natural nickname.

I love the name Red!

I thought all Reds were normally nicknamed because of their hair...

I'm Irish and know several Raymonds but no Redmonds.

I’d go with Fred nn Red

I think that Red alone is a bit out there and Redmond is much more of a surname. At least Fred could go with the cool “Red” but have a more usual name if needed.

I have a friend called Red, short for Redford. He’s really cool and to me it just seems like a normal name.

Love it!

My friend has a Redmond (nn Red) I love it!
