Regan for a baby boy?

[Talkthirtytome]

What do you think to Regan (pronounce reegan) for a baby boy?

Yes, go for it. Regan is a good name !

I would think of it as a girls' name.

I love it but remember it’s the name of the girl in the Exorcist. That never put me off but it might some.

really strong name!! I like it pronounced (Ree-gan)
And (Ray-gan)

Love it!

I would assume Regan was a girl, after the character in King Lear.

It’s a bit ‘a boy named sue’

And terrible if he ever goes to the US, where it is a very female name

Only ever seen it used as a girls name, but do what you want- most parents do.

I like Regan for both boys and girls..

I think Regan is awful for a boy or girl.

It's a really harsh sound

Reagan has a history of being used for children of both sexes but Regan has been a female name for hundreds of years.

However people think nothing of sing traditionally male names for girls, so why not? Your son may not thank you for it, so on a personal level it might be a mistake, but in a social level it's good to buck the male stuff = go for both males and femalesod, female stuff = only good enough for feminine girls, bad for males and strong women trend...

I know a boy called Regan. It's not my favourite name but he doesn't get comments about it being a girls name so I'd say it was quite acceptable.

I actually love Regan but came help but think of the exorcist so I couldn't personally

I know a Regan - boy

It's also the name of one of the evil sisters in King Lear, so if he ever does that for GCSE English, it'll be fun.

Girl's name. King Lear.

I dont like it at all

Very harsh name for a girl. Not a boys name.

It is actually a surnmae

Not really a fan. Plus seeing it written down I would have pronounced it Ray-gan like the former US president so I think you'd spend a lot of time correcting people.

There are a few Regans at my DS's school, all boys.
Go for it OP, if you like it.

Girl in the exorcist.

Also, very dull.

It's a female name to me.

It’s your baby. It’s not a terrible name. But I personally really dislike it.

I don’t like it - and it reminds me of the exorcist
