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?

Ronald and The Exorcist come up mind. It's awful.

LaFilleSurLePont · 23/01/2012 10:43

Come up? WTF. Come to mind sorry.

Exorcist. Ronald Regan. Sorry.

I see it as a girls name too, because of King Lear.

Have seen both Regan and Reagan used exclusively as girls' names in the US. Very Hardcore Irish, and Republican (as in GOP, not Irish Republican).

I'm in Canada and I know several Reagans (pronounced Ree-gan) and all of them are female.

I know a Ree-gan who is a girl, and also a little girl named Regan as in, rhymes with Megan.

Eagan is a boy's name, and I like that.

Ugh, sorry but I hate it. It will always remind me if Ronald. Also, it is a girls name over here (N America).

Really dislike

wolfear · 25/01/2012 22:01

All I can see is evil little Regan from the Excorcist when I hear it. Sorry

NotnOtter · 25/01/2012 22:13

love it love it but for a girl

Alligatorpie · 26/01/2012 05:32

My cousin is Reagan. Her twin brother is Tanner. We are Canadian.

I like it for a girl, not do much for a boy.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 26/01/2012 07:07

It's the name of Gazzas son. Enough said.

KristinaM · 26/01/2012 07:08
