Which name do you like best for a boy?

[Northernbird11]

Regan or Rory?

Regan in king lear, rory is nice .

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

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

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

Xpost

Regan's not bad.

Old old is he?

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

I would have chose Rory..

Rory

Rory by a million miles.

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

Rory

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

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.

Can I ask what name you chose Merida?

Ruairidh = Rory the Gaelic way

Rory. Regan is a girl's name to me.

Rory, that was name we had chosen if dd was a boy

I've just read your last comment. Could you use his middle name instead if he has one? And I'm sure you could still change his name if you wanted to. There are obviously lots of boys called Regan- I know some. Just google the name

Rory. Did you want to name him after Ronald Reagan? That's the first thing that cows to mind for me.

Rory

I love Rory, but it is gaining in popularity. Regan is definitely less popular and is a nice name.

If you really dislike it, does he have a middle name you could use instead?

Rory :)

Hey OP, Regan is cool, don't stress it.
Rory would have been my choice too, but we older girls remember The Sweeney, no one was cooler than John Thaw. 😍
