40 baby names that are perfect for your sweet blonde haired babes

Being Pregnant – 01 Jan 24 By Rebel Wylie

We've found best and fairest names for the ones who have more fun.

Is there a chance that your little one may end up with blonde or fair hair? If you want to give them a name that suits their golden halo, look no further than the clever names in the gallery below …

Will my child end up with blonde hair?

Baby hair colour really comes down to what mix you got in your genetic soup. The hair colour genes that were turned on or off, coming from either side of the family tree, really depends on chance.

What really determines your hair colour is a couple of interesting pigments that are responsible for hair, skin, and eye colouring.

Eumelanin is the pigment responsible for determining if hair is dark. Someone who is blonde will have very little eumelanin, while someone who has larger concentrations of the pigment will end up with brown or dark brown hair.

There is also a subtype eumelanin which is responsible for black hair, and even more interesting … white hair!

The pigment pheomelanin is what gives us red or orange hair. Most of us have a some pheomelanin in our hair, but true redheads (who make up three percent of the population) have little to no eumelanin to go along with that, which is what gives them their unique tones.

If you have auburn or strawberry blonde hair, you have a mix eumelanin and pheomelanin pigments.

Oh and something to remember … Someone who has light hair throughout childhood may see that darken over time.

Oh, and it’s worth remembering that your hair colour at birth may not be the hair colour that you end up with! Not all fair-haired children start out blonde, in fact some of them start out totally bald! Others may begin with a thin layer of dark hair at birth which gradually lightens. And some light hair darkens over time too! Fascinating, right?
