reginald?

[chumbers]

we have just had a baby boy and have a few names we're considering. we like Reginald , Reggie for short but the grannies really hate it. id love some feedback

[thesockmonsterofdoom]

dont be ridiculous.

[MaryHuff]

Not to my liking at all.

[Ponders]

Oh you are joking, aren't you???

[ScummyMummy]

Don't like it that much but it's definitely coming back a bit. There is a v cute boy in my boys' school named Reginald and I also know of someone who's just named their baby Reggie.

[Thunderduck]

Please tell me you aren't serious. It's awful,and guaranteed to get him beaten up in the playground, unless his last name is Kray.

[GossipMonger]

LOL NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[hercules1]

No, please dont inflict this on a child.

[clam]

Some old-fashioned names work and others just don't.
Reginald is one of them.
Don't do it!

[passmethegin]

Gosh, people don't like it do they?
I personally think it's fine, and sod what the grandparents think, it's your baby. Best test is if you can imagine calling out 'Reginald!' in the middle of the supermarket.

[Jux]

Ronald is similar, but a very strong name imo.

[PuppyMonkey]

Reg when he gets a bit older?

[Littlefish]

Don't do it. It's horrible. Really doddery.

[chumbers]

thanks for all your feedback, not many people seem to like it but i cant understand why . what is wrong with reg.

[Thunderduck]

It's an awful name,it truly is. There are plenty of lovely old fashioned names out there but this isn't one of them.

[piscesmoon]

Reginald, Reggie, Reg and Ronald are all dire. I knew a cat called Reggie and that was quite sweet.

[moshie]

My dad's middle name. He hated it with a passion all his life.

[MrsMattie]

I love Reggie. I know two really cool Reggies. Don't listen to the naysayers. They are probably the ones calling their girls Mabel and Ivy!

[HuffwardlyRudge]

Lovely.

Really great name.

[tearinghairout]

I met a dear little boy last year called Reggie. He was about four and was a real character. I wouldn't have liked the name before, but somehow it really suited him. If you like it, go for it.

[pingviner]

read Saki's short stories about Reginald
youll then either love or hate the name

I love it

[Thunderduck]

I hate the names Mabel and Ivy also.

[RachieB]

awful

[skihorse]

are you in competition with your friends for the ugliest, most pretentious, faux middle-class name out there?

[SamJamsmum]

I quite like Reggie but Reginald is baaaad and I think you need a more formal version of Reggie for when he is older.
But it's up to you. If you love it, go for it.

[dizzydixies]

perrin anyone?
