Eving / Morning everyone!

Just wondered what everybody thought of the name Reagan (pron Ree-gan) for a little boy?

My colleague is having a nightmare thinking of names but this one seems to be sticking and i'm not too sure on it? (not that I have any influence on her babies name of course, just wondered what the general view on it was)

Is it American more than English? Sounds it to me?

And Canada - it's not cool, it's crap. But how to tell her is a whole new kettle of fish!

Yes it was the girl in the Exorcist, had just been thinking that when your post popped up Whiter.

Wasn't it the girls name in the exorcist? Not my cup of tea.

Haha Canada Don't worry - I was only covering my own back so you'd get the blane when someone does pop up to complain. 'Tis my opinion, though. Grin

I'm American, and never heard of one, but I would definitely assume it was a girl.

lisaro · 23/01/2012 00:44

In YOUR term - chavtastic. I think it's bloody awful.

Hehe No, typo mixed with knackered but cant be arsed to move and go to bed mood :o

I though the American way was pronounced Ray-gan?

Oh well, I shall keep my opinions to myself and not utter a word to her :)

Also, I'm sitting her dreaming of adding a new addition to my family (secretly hoping I could have a girl) and just wondered if anybody had any unusual names?

If possible, nothing too chavtastic (see an arguement on another thread regarding chavvy names - didnt end good)

Thanks :)

I think it's horrible sorry.

I like it, and met a young man with that name last week at horse riding.

GingerSnapsBack · 23/01/2012 00:28

I have only heard that used for girls and yes it is quite American. It's nice though

VeronicaSpeedwell · 23/01/2012 00:28

It makes me think of King Lear's dodgy daughter, Regan, so I'd tend to think it was a girl's name.
