Do you like the name Regan?

[kayleighb21]

For a little boy? Pronounced Ree-gan?

Not really but do you because that's the important thing?

It's fine. But I'm old so I'd always think of Ronald.

Exorcist

No

No. But I don't think that's here nor there really. Do you and your partner like it? It's a proper name.

Isn't it a girl's name? One of King Lear's (nasty) daughters was Regan.

I would never be able to get past the King Lear reference. She's one of the most villainous characters I've ever come across so that kills it for me!

No, sorry but I do not like it at all

It's definitely a boy's name in Wales.

No, if honest. But I know girls with the name.

It's a girls name in the USA but more of a lower class one. Like Morgan.

No. I think it's pretty ugly and although it's usually used for boys these days I think of the Shakespeare's character.

Another one making the connection with King Lears daughter! I prefer it as a girls name.

Definitely think immediately of King Lear's daughter -- so a girl's name, with a very off-putting association.

Defo a girl's name in my head, would be surprised to meet a boy called Regan.

I know one gorgeous little girl called Regan and I'll be honest, often wondered why her parents gave such an ugly name. I think the King Lear character has really tainted it

She was an avaricious cow in King Lear - sorry, can't get past that!

I always thought it was pronounced ray-gan, il go and sit in the corner

Nope. It's King Lears daughter, its a girls name. On a boy you would just think of Ronald.

I know boys with the name Regan. And a girl called raegan. (pronounced ray-gan) I dont love it but its a proper name and defo used for boys

Nope. It's King Lears daughter, its a girls name.

Where are you in the country? There are many boys called Regan in Wales.

I would think of it as a girl's name and I would associate it with head spinny girl in The Exorcist and King Lear's horrible daughter.

I know a female Regan. (Ray-gan) I think it's a pretty unisex name.

I like Ray-gan for a girl, but not
Ree-gan for either gender

I'm not in Wales. And to me its a girls name.

But its ugly anyway.

Not a fan, it's also a girl's name to me. As above, my connection is Regan as one of Lear's evil daughters.
