We found out last week we are having a boy! There's loads of time to decide but we can't help thinking of names.

How do you feel about Reggie?

DH and I both like it but as DS has a traditional, quite popular name and I thought I wanted much the same! Can't have Charlie, William, Jake, Harry, Henry or Thomas.

Nice name. However, I'd be lying if I said. 'It doesn't make me think of Ronnie Kray

Reggie Kray, not Ronnie Kray

That was my first thought too! I don't really want him named after the Krays!!

I love Reggie! Yes I think of the Krays but that wouldn't bother me. I like Edward, William and George for traditional. Also quite like Patrick too. Congrats on baby btw Flowers

Reggie is nice, although it sounds very nicknamey/cutesy - what would the full name be - Reginald?

My first thought was Reggie Perrin.

I like Reggie & don't see the need for a more formal name?
