Whether the intended meaning is blonde or red, referring to a stranger or someone you do not know well by a name indicating their hair color could suggest a level of familiarity that might give offense. I know people with red hair who hate to be called "Red" by anyone, friends or not. The nickname "Blondie" makes some people think of "blonde jokes", a category of humor portraying blonde-haired women as dumb. It's a minefield.

I'm not sure if you mean "blonde" or "blood-red".
"The blonde one" can be a simple description of a person. As a nickname, it implies the person is very stupid - viz. blonde jokes.
Giving nicknames to a person with red hair is generally impolite (because your spelling was strange, I wasn't sure if you meant "bloodnut").

No this is not polite unless you are very good friends with a person who has red hair.In Australia people with red hair are often called Carrot or Ranga.

Blood hair? I assume you mean blonde (yellow). Generally no, people won't mind being referred to as blonde.

No one says that.
