Can I ask what name you chose Merida?

I think that was another thing along with DH that made me decide on Regan, I didn’t want anything too popular. He’s nearly a year so I don’t think we could change it now.

As someone with mega name regret you have my fullest sympathies. It's a horrid feeling.Flowers

Rory

I would also think of Regan as a woman (an evil one at that)!

holdbackonthewine · 22/11/2017 16:55

Rory by a million miles.

Valeriemalorie · 22/11/2017 16:52

Rory

TeshiB · 22/11/2017 16:52

I would have chose Rory..

FaFoutis · 22/11/2017 16:46

How old is he? You can change your mind as far as I know.

Regan's not bad.

Old old is he?

Rory

Dmt80 · 22/11/2017 16:45

Rory is a very popular name. I have five in my class, so you can imagine the confusion. All depends if you're looking for a popular name that you may come across frequently.

Rory. I know an adult Regan but she’s a woman

Shame I named my son Regan 🙈 I wanted Rory but DH said no. I’m having serious name regret but it’s too late now Sad

Rory

DramaAlpaca · 22/11/2017 16:11

Another vote for Rory, love it.

I don't like Regan.

MissFlashpants · 22/11/2017 16:10

Regan is much more commonly a girls name. It's nicer than Rory though.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 22/11/2017 16:08

Rory. I don't dislike Regan but IMO its more for a girl, and makes me think of the little girl in the Exorcist

tootruetoyou · 22/11/2017 16:02

Look how many Rorys! Is your decision made yet?

feebeemee · 22/11/2017 16:00

Rory,l
