As a given name, Record falls into the category of unusual word names that have occasionally been used throughout naming history.

The name might appeal to parents interested in musical connections (as in 'record album'), achievement associations ('record-breaking'), or documentary significance. The distinctive nature of this name would certainly make it memorable, though the bearer might frequently need to explain or clarify their uncommon name throughout life.
