Reign??

[ImJustMadAboutSaffron]

How and when did this become an actual name?

It's usually spelled Raine - been around for yonks (eg Princess Di's stepmother)

I haven't seen it spelt as 'Reign' in the UK. Raine, as pp said, is a longstanding name and I've come across 'Rain' used in the same vein as, say 'Summer' as an earthy, hippie sort of name.

Perhaps it's a Royalists name. Like Jermajesty . Son of Jermaine Jackson.

I know a Regina. That might work if you're looking for something regal?

With that spelling, I'm not aware that it had been used for a name.

But the registrars aren't allowed to say anything when people turn up to register their dc.

Isn't one of Stella McCartney DCs called this?

Def other celeb with this dc name.

I know of a little boy called Reyn. Awful name.

A Kardashian has a son with that name I think… I also know someone here in Uk with a son named Reign. He is under 2.

I think Louis Tomlinson's son is Freddie Reign, that was the first I have heard of it being used as a name.

I've heard of someone with a child called 'Reignier'. It's said to be a name of the Prince of Monaco from what I remember being told

You mean Grace Kelly's husband, Prince Rainier.

I think Rein is a Dutch name.

Rein it it!

I taught a Reign a couple of years ago..

Not so regal if it’s pronounced to rhyme with vagina.

I think it's pronounced Reg ee na!
(So a bit like Georgina)

Yes I probably misheard it.

I've heard of someone with a child called 'Reignier'.

I can well imagine him being known as Rudolph!

A relative of mine has just named their baby daughter Reighn. Pronounced Rain/Reign. They can't spell, they intended it to be "like the queen". If they'd gone with Rain, I think my judgy pants would have been less hoiked.

'Reighn' just looks like the sound of somebody clearing their throat - with the absence of resulting greenage not guaranteeable.

You’re right, it’s an “ee” not “I” sound in the middle but just the spelling of it makes me think vagina!

Regina Phalange!

Jermajesty🙄why inflict a child with a questionable name. Suppose the money cushions it a bit.
