REGGIE FOR MY BOY

[angie85]

what do u all think of the name reggie ????

Whatever I think about the actual name, falls into my category of 'no' if there is any possibility the child will not be able to pronounce it. Not being able to say R sound quite common, and the replacement W sound really doesn't make for a good name. Sorry.

Sweet mother of God, noooooooooo.
Hideous

It's awful,and immediately makes me think of The Krays.

Kray.

No. Don't like.

we naming him after my partners grandad who passed away 2 weeks b4 we found out i was pregnant

In that case I'd use it as a middle name,but still not as a first name.

Oooh, I rather like it.

But I love Ralph, pronounced Ralph not Rafe.

How about Stanley?

I think your partner's grandad will probably have been named Reginald anyway, rather than Reggie. Using the proper name is marginally better but I would still use it as a middle name only.

ur all entitled to ur opinion but we like it and baby due on friday not gonna change it now

Why on earth did you ask then? What was the point if you'd already made your mind up?

I like it x

So why did you bask then?

Agree reggie is a middle name-name.

But then don't know why you're asking really.. C

noooo, he'll get referred to as a Kray twin his whole life

What a waste of fricking time!

I dunno, I kind of like it! Definitely fits in with all the Charlies and Stanleys and Franks that I keep meeting.

Can anyone imagine teenage friends named Charlie, Stan, Reg and Frank? How weird.

just wanted to know wat people would think as both our families say they love it but then they would so just want points of view sorry if u feel i wasted all ur time

If you're set on naming him Reggie then surely it doesn't matter what we think?

I do think it's nice that you're naming him for your dp's grandfather though.

Congratulations on the soon to be new arrival anyway.

It's a great name, especially for the reason you are choosing it. Go for it.

I think Reggie is a great name, due a comeback and would be a lovely tribute to your partner's grandad. It's also unusual and pretty cool.

thank u to those who have actually appreciated me putting this on xx

I know a Reggie, he's about 4. And he's a little stunner!

[Don't apologise for wasting time! Only time wasted is their own snide remark-making! It's fine to want opinions, and not surprising that if they're not all positive you'd be a little hurt!]

I like the reason you're choosing Reggie (to honour your partner's granddad) and I like the fact that it isn't as overused as Charlie, Jack and Alfie etc.

I can also understand why you'd like to know people's reactions to your chosen name - don't feel you're wasting our time .

PLEASE name him Reginald if you must - then call him Reggie. it's horrid, in my opinion, but if you're set on it, then he deserves the proper name on his birth certificate.

If you like it then go for it. I think Reg or Reggie is quite cool and there will not be many about. Would probably avoid Reginald as the full name though.

I think you may have started a new trend.
