Baby born to University of Alabama fans, named Crimson Tide

football field

It may be April Fools’ Day, but this name isn’t a joke.

J.L. and Jackie Redd of Tallassee, Alabama, have named their baby boy Crimson Tide Redd in honor of the University of Alabama’s Crimson Tide football team.

The young couple made an agreement before their son’s birth that J.L. could be in charge of naming the baby, wanting to use his last name, Redd, as inspiration.

J.L.’s family was “extremely excited” about the name. Jackie’s family, however, “couldn’t understand why we’d name our child after a football team.”

Crimson Tide will go by the nickname Ty.

Update, Jan. 2014: We have two more!

First, there’s Krimson Tyde Steele, born in December of 2013 to parents Summer and Steven Steele of Andalusia, Alabama.

Second, there’s 2-year-old Crimson Tide Broadhurst, son of Shane and Emily Broadhurst of Phenix City, Alabama. (They also have a 5-month-old daughter named Alliegh Bama.)

P.S. Here’s a list of names associated with the color red, just in case you’re interested. :)
