Help[Opinions] Re: Regan
in reply to a message by Norie
I'm not sure what country you live in, but in the US, Regan isn't ultra-trendy, based upon the popularity statistics. It entered the top thousand for the first time in 1974, fell off again in 1982, never having gotten higher than #650, then entered the top thousand again in 1991, but has never gotten higher than #389. I could not prove this, but I think that "The Exorcist" caused Regan to become more popular and less popular at the same time. 1974 was the year after "The Exorcist" was released, so I think that's the reason it entered the top thousand that year. On the other hand, it's never gotten higher than #389, and is currently at #878, and given its close similarity to Megan, which was indeed quite trendy and popular in the 80s and 90s, I really think that "The Exorcist" is the reason it hasn't seen much higher numbers.

Regan on its own isn't very high in the popularity charts, I agree. But when you consider the spelling "Reagan" which is almost in the top 100, the name itself is somewhat popular.
And the name isn't trendy everywhere in the U.S. but it is in the region I live in. Same thing with Karolina. It's not even on the popularity charts for the U.S. but where I live, Karolina's outnumber Ashley's, easily.
And I agree with you on the whole Exorcisist affecting its popularity. Like you said, it came to the top 1000's likely because of the popularity of the movie, but has likely also been hindered by the movie's success.
