User Comments about the name Russell
Comment left May 07, 2009: "I like the fact that it's been around for a long time, i.e. starting in the 1880's, not a trendy name. Reflects a little thought on the part of the parents for choosing it. Actually when I was growing up I was called 'Rusty' but by high school I was saying no more to that... now I think I made too much of it. There are some pretty cool 'Rusty's' in the world too."

Comment left Jan 28, 2009: "My name is Russell, and I only knew one Russell in school growing up. I rarely ever run into Russells, which is odd, considering I expected the name to soar in popularity once Russell Crowe hit the scene. Everyone always misspells it with one L. When someone asks my name and they are writing it down, I automatically say "Russell with two L's" because I know they would write it with one otherwise. Sigh." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Mar 01, 2007: "My name is Russell, by birth, but I refuse to be called that. I go by Russ. I am a junior and my parents were woefully unoriginal, so I got stuck with it. It sucked as a kid, but it's ok now as an adult. I either go by Russ (formally) or Deuce (personally), due to being a junior. Don't get me started on people mistakenly calling me Ross, dropping the last "L" or bringing up the Ross/Russ Friends episode. Rusty is a no-no. People have gotten knocked out for calling me Rusty (as a teen), but it doesn't sound so bad now, as an adult. Pretty much the only people who ever call me Russell are my mother and sister, and only then when I'm in trouble for something. lol" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Oct 19, 2006: "I like the name, but people keep dropping the second "l" from the end." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 12, 2006: "My older son, now aged 40, is named Russell. He was named after Bertand Russell who was his father's hero - and Russell sounded a lot nicer than Bertrand! He's not red haired but the name still seems to suit him, and I've had no indication that he doesn't like it." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 31, 2006: "It is uncommon but not weird. I used to dislike my name but as I've gotten older it has kind of grown on me. My wife loves it & talked me into naming our son Junior. Can't stand it when it is spelled with just one L or shortened to Russ. Don't even get me started on Rusty; hate it. The name is Russell." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Feb 01, 2006: "Great name! Every Russell I have known has been atheletic and good-looking." (Report as inappropriate)
