I actually love this name, but the relation to the red kelpie from Bluey (2018-2020) kinda ruins it. Big oof.

When I hear the name Rusty, I always think of Rusty the siding inspection diesel from Thomas the tank engine.
For a person, I suppose Rusty could be okay as a nickname. However, as a legal name, it would sound daft.

Rusty makes me think of the fake rabbit that the dog track dogs chase after. This is only fitting for a dog or rabbit to me. "Here comes Rusty!"

It is in my old personal name list because as a child I saw a few episodes of 'Rin Tin Tin'. I used to like it because of its being linked with redheads but now I would use it only on a pet because its pronunciation is similar to 'rasta'.

I think this would be a kinda cool nickname for Russell, but only when young.

This was the name of my cat, who unfortunately died a couple years ago from a liver disease (as most overweight cats will). He was given the name "Rusty" because of his rich orange coat. Due to his tub-of-lard appearance and general laziness, he was also affectionately referred to as "Tubby" and "Garfield" (again, because of his coat).
I already couldn't take this seriously as a person's name, but now I also cannot separate Rusty from a big orange furball.

I really love the name Rusty for a girl, like in the movie Footloose.

Somehow I feel that I will be the minority, but... "Rusty" appeals to me as a masculine nickname greatly! That being said, I would also consider it (strictly as a diminutive) for a female.
While it is undoubtedly juvenile, it is fun enough to transfer into young-adulthood, adulthood, and eventually onto an elder (granted that he possesses a professional name, as well.)
My current forename of choice is "Rosario," though I feel that it would be acceptable for "Rodolfo," among others.

Just imagine saying 'hello, I'm Rusty'.

A friend of my mother originally wanted to name me this, but Ma (bless her!) held her ground and said "Have your own red-haired son and name him Rusty!" I'm glad that she didn't name me Rusty, because I do not like this name.
