Funny Names for a Red Head

Do you want to hear some really fun facts about redheads, also known as those with ginger hair? Well, ginger, red, auburn, whatever it is that you want to call it, actually only naturally happens in around two percent of the entire world's population of humans. There are many more people who will attempt to achieve that fiery redheaded look, of course, with the assistance of salons and box dyes used at home, but we are talking about natural red-headed people — they only account for 2% of hair colour across the world.

Redhead is a word that has been used to describe those with red hair since around the early part of the 1500's, and it is believed that the majority of redheaded people actually come from Europe more than anywhere else. Western and Northern areas are where more gingers are found, and Germanic, Celtic, and British-born people are most known for the red trait.

Here's another fun fact about redheads for you, too, before we start looking into the best (and worst) funny and cool nicknames for redheads: they might have a fiery temper, but it has apparently nothing to do with personality traits at all. It is considered that natural redheads actually feel the extremes of temperature much more than those with other hair shades, such as blondes and brunettes, and are therefore just feeling much hotter or colder than the rest of us are. In theory, they suffer more. (We'll allow them to have that fiery temper then!)

Carrying on with the theme of pretty amazing hair, redheads have shown in studies to have much thicker hair than other hair shades, meaning that they need less of it. A blonde person can have somewhere in the region of 90,000-120,000 strands of hair on their heads, with brunettes having just a few more tens of thousands more than that, but redheads have the fewest of all — only around 90,000.

Combine that with the fact that red hair doesn't actually go grey, but instead to a pretty pastel pink shade, and then to a beautiful white-grey, you can understand why it is one of the most lusted after hair colours of our generation. Sadly, those redhead benefits don't come flooding in when you have red hair out of a box. Just because your hair is dyed doesn't mean that you won't go grey.

But we will move on now and get to the heart of the matter — the nicknames that you're here for. Just remember, before you decide to appoint a friend with a nickname, make sure the nickname isn't offensive — to them or anyone else that you might use it around. What you find funny won't always be the same things that other people find funny, and the last thing you would want to do is lose a friend over a name that wasn't that important in the first place.

Keep it cool, kids, and remember — don't be mean to redheads.
