Earlier this year, on January 12, the Ohio State Buckeyes beat the Oregon Ducks to win “the first national title in college football’s playoff era.”
Twenty days later, a baby girl born into the Victory family in Akron was named Scarlet Gray Victory.
Parents Andrew and Bianchi Victory say family and friends call the name “genius.”
Baby Scarlet is the third child in the Victory family, the older two being 20-month-old twins William and Georgia.
(A surprising number of Ohio State University fans have named their kids “Scarlet,” “Gray,” and “Scarlet Gray” after the school colors, but this is the first time I’ve seen “Scarlet Gray” paired with the surname “Victory,” so I figured this one deserved a post.)
P.S. Here’s a list of names associated with the color red, just in case you’re interested. :)
