Many women tell me they have put it on their list for their next child (what a compliment!) Her toddler friends/cousins call her “Reagie” (Re-gie); we call her our little “Reag-a-monster” and “Reag-a-muffin”.

We went with ReAgan (to seperate her from the Regan in The Exorcist.) No one has ever mentioned the Exorcist and when we bring it up, they always act surprised because they’ve forgotten that bit of information.
Elderly men ask us if we’re Ronald supporters once in a while, but other than that, no one mentions the previous president.

Overall, I feel it’s a name for a silly, spunky little girl who will someday accomplish great things with great confidence… and I couldn’t want more for my daughter. Her name fits her perfectly!

It is sounded out RAYgen. I love the name no matter what you say. It makes me feel special because I only know one other Regan, a little four year old. I am elevven years’ old, almsot twelve. I kind of have nicknames, not really though. One of them is Reggie. You say it RAHgie, and its fun. I am the best pitcher for my junior softball team. When i am about to pitch i always hear people shout, “Come on Reiggie,” Or, “Come on Regs!”. Regs is sounded like RAYgs. If you think about having a baby name Regan, do it! It’s uniqu and you’ll be glad you did it. I am very athletic and get godd grades. If you don’t think it comes from the name then oh well. One of my best friends’ name is Megan. It’s super fun, because we kind of look alike and the teacher is very old. She always calls me Megan and her Regan. If this has helped at all Then my job is done, if not I am very sorry to have waisted your time. OK IM NOT, TO ALL OF YOU REGAN HATER, GET A LIFE, OR A BETTER ONE!

Although it has a literary background it just doesn’t appeal. LOVE Cordelia however :)

I’ve mostly heard the RAY-gen pronunciation on little girls, andthat is way too close to Ronnie. No, thanks. The only REE-gen I’ve met was an infant last year, and her last name (to my horror) is Resig. REE-gen RES-ig. Yes.

I do like REE-gen more than RAY-gen to be sure, but would never name my child either one. Nor would I name my daugher Kennedy (and I wouldn’t name my son Clinton or Lincoln or Jefferson). For me, any President is out.

It makes me feel better about girls I’ve met named Regan, but I still don’t care for it.
