hotCheeseBurns · 15/08/2008 18:46

Hilarious :D

myalias · 15/08/2008 18:47

Kray or Perrin spring to mind

Tortington · 15/08/2008 18:47

it stinks

MadameCastafiore · 15/08/2008 18:48

Reggie sounda a bit Ronnieish - so chavvy IMHO!

I like it.

It reminds me of a tiny baby I met at NCT group called Reg because his parents were yet to register him. But it stuck and he was cute in a wrinkly walnut new baby kind of way.

But then I like names that make small boys sound like gangsters.

I know a baby called Reggie - it's sweet!

Reginald is horrid, though.

branflake81 · 15/08/2008 18:54

I actually snorted when I read this.

So that's a no from me. As Deborah Meaden would say.

janeite · 15/08/2008 18:55

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

moshie · 15/08/2008 18:56

My dad's middle name. He hated it all his life.

CountessDracula · 15/08/2008 18:58

It's rather of its time

like Gerald
or Brian
or Norbert

DisenchantedPlusBump · 15/08/2008 18:58

My mums pug dog is called...
Reginald. R. Raggamuffin

wheresthehamster · 15/08/2008 18:58

It's dp's middle name. I sniggered when he first told me

collision · 15/08/2008 18:58

terrible

do not do it

you would have to be as cool as Vernon Kay to get away with a name like Vernon or Reginald

and if he is not then he would be bullied forever

no no no

wotulookinat · 15/08/2008 19:01

I quite like it.

CrushWithEyeliner · 15/08/2008 20:25

OK will pass it on - so what about just Reggie then?

I love Reggie (but couldn't use it for theoretical DS2 as DS1 is Ronnie....thanks a lot MadameCastafiore ).

Bewilderbeast · 15/08/2008 20:52

My grandpa was Reggie I think it's a lovely name
Reginald is not good though

Spidermama · 15/08/2008 20:54

I really like it and what's more I predict a majorcomeback for it in a few years.
