I knew an adult man named Kasey with red hair. I thought the name suited him well.

I associate the name Penelope with red hair. I’ve known two Penelopes (Penny) in my life and they have both had red hair. One had dark auburn hair and the other was what my grandmother called a carrot top.

I've known two fairly interesting natural red-heads, as one was Indian and one was Chinese. Their names are Sonam and Rhiannon (Ria).

---

Other redheads I've known have had common names like Noah or Michelle. I'm a redhead named Mary.

I think most of the redheads I have met have common non-remarkable names like James, Connor, Zachary, Alexandra, Megan. I have red-headed cousins named Kristin, Nicholas, and Neil. The only ones that come to mind and seem a little more singular to me are Peggy and Roberta, but they might just stand out to me because I know less people from when those names were popular.

The only one from your list that seems maybe particularly red-headed to me is Roxanne. I think it's partly the R. I'd say
Richard seems maybe red-headed, of the masculine list.

As a brunette Audrey... is this my sign to go ginger? 🤔

---

Personally, I associate Audrey with brunettes just because of Audrey Hepburn (and myself). I find Sage to be a good "ginger" name. Green is awesome on redheads, and Sage is a very green name imo.
There are a couple of names you've listed (like Savannah, Hannah, etc) that give off very blonde or strawberry blonde vibes to me. I think Rachel, Priscilla, and Lauren all have brunette vibes, but Heidi is DEFINITELY a redheaded name 100%.

Redheads I've known:
Ava
Griffen
Eamon
Charles "Charlie"
Beatrice "Bea"
Jason
Severin (i think she was a ginger?)
Hilah (strawberry blonde)
Lucia Luise "Lulu"
Pearl "Pearlie"
Ella
Ruby
Amelia

Get this- I know a redhead Scottie (Scott) and also a Ginger (Virginia)!
and hilariously, their parents (all non-ginger) were planning to give them those names + nicknames before their births!!! 🤣🤣

I don't think about hair colour when considering names, any more than I project a 'suitable' name when looking at a redhead, a blonde, whatever. But when I was a schoolgirl every redhead was named Rosemary, and there were several. I felt quite cheated when a new redhead turned out to be Sonja.

I really like Clementine & Marigold for redheads but they might be too literal, like Ginger. I imagine Betsy, Chester & Jem as redheads.

The redheads I’ve known are

Gwendolyn “Gwen”
Anne
Madelyn & Molly (sisters & my cousins)
Rose “Rosie”
Holly

---

Allen (my dad! Always a little mad I didn’t get the red hair genes)
William
Reuben
Amos

I'm sure this is showing my prejudice, but just about any distinctly Irish, Scottish, or British name would suit a redhead in my mind.

---

The names you listed, I don't really have strong feelings for one way or another, except for those that have strong associations already (like Priscilla feels like a dark-haired name to me, because of Presley; Savannah feels blonde, because of the colour of a savannah prairie, etc.)

---

The redheads I have known in life:

---

Kimberly
Michelle
Jessica
Kelvin "Kelly"
Megan (x 2)
Kaleigh
Morag
Alysa
Crystal
Terrence
Sheena
Colin
Abril
Jazmine
Brianna

Also my great-great-great grandmother Jeanne "Jennie" was apparently a redhead.

I’ve know a JJ, Alex, and Julian with red hair.

Ember is one you haven't used that reminds me of a red head. Audrey is defia redheadname
