HelpRed?
Thoughts on Red as a nickname for male and females? What are the full names that Red could be short for? Could Red work on its own or only as a nickname?

I know a guy named Red. Actually his name is Redrum. I assume his parents were twisted. He is not so straight himself.
He goes by Red though.(Side note: his daughters are named Corrin and Navaeh)
I have heard Red as a nickname for Richard too.
Maybe Winnifred or Alfreda for girls.
Anyone with red hair.
Red names like Ruby, Sienna, Scarlet etc.

There was a remarkably famous British horse called Red Rum - back in the 70s or 80s I think - which won vast sums for people who bet on it. It won something like the Derby? And was very much loved; seemed to be a charismatic beast. The reason I know this is because I went into a touristy shop in Scotland and found that someone had designed a Red Rum tartan! Not attractive as I recall, sort of dark red and beige. But clearly there was a market. Mr Redrum's parents could have won enough on the races to pay for a really good maternity hospital!

Like others have said I think Red is a more physical description than a name based nickname.
I also think it is a perfect name for a pet not so much for a child.

It sounds like a nn for a cowboy or someone with red hair, or a pet's name.

I like it on a man only, and only as a nickname. When I was a child, my friend-who-lived-across-the-street's father was called Red, though his real name was John, because he had red hair. It's traditionally been a nickname for a man with red hair.
But I knew a Red whom I really liked and who really liked me who did not have red hair. I assume Red was a nickname in his case, too, but don't know what his real name was. I guess he gives me a soft spot for the name.
It could be a nickname for Redmond.

Red is more a physical appearance based nickname than one from names. I don't really like it. I think it works better for a man than a woman... With a woman it sounds like a come on from a man who doesn't know her...
As for names it could work for
Redmond
Raymond
Reginald
Rembrandt
Reinhard
Remedios
Rhonda

Red could possibly be short for Redford or Redmond, but it's almost always a nickname for a person with red hair. As such, it's a very dated, downmarket kind of nn, along the lines of Shorty, Slim or Blondie.
