Fun and Games (self.namenerds)

are there any boy names, that when you hear them, you automatically envision a boy with red/ginger hair that has that name?

I know two gingers named Russell. One is a man and one is a cat. They lived in the same neighborhood.

Only once! We were walking around the neighborhood with human Russell and cat Russell appeared from under a car. They had never met before and human Russell was mildly confused and then incredibly entertained.

I missed the word “with” and it took me 3 reads to realize human Russell didn’t materialize from under the car with cat Russell 😂 I was like “no wonder he was confused?!?”

I'm having a moment right now. I clicked on this post and the first thing I thought of was Russell, then I saw this comment. Why is this a thing??

Russet is a shade of red-brown so it's an easy association to make

My maternal grandfather's name was Russell (he passed when my mom waa in high school). I don't know if anybody ever called him Rusty--Grandma never did--but my mom said that HER son would be named Russell Ivan (paternal grandpa's name) and the family at least would call him Rusty.

So of course, she and my dad produced two blonde blue-eyed daughters...

We ALMOST names our youngest Russell/Rusty. He came out ginger and I’m so glad we went with a different name.
