Help[Opinions] Re: Regan
in reply to a message by queenv
No, it's not creepy because of the movie.
Neither is any other name I can think of, creepy because of a movie. Except maybe Chuckie? lol.
I can't remember where I first heard the name but it wasn't in the Exorcist movie. I remember recognizing it when I did see the movie and realizing that the name was not as new as I'd thought. I thought it sounded androgynous, but also reminded me of the word "regal," so I sort of liked it.
This was before Megan became insanely popular ... I don't think I had yet met my first Megan. That was during the Reagan years and I never noticed that it was similar to Reagan. I still don't think it's very similar to Reagan, in fact, and honestly it annoys me a lot that people pronounce Regan as "RAY GUN" and apparently consider it to be basically the same name. But I guess that's inevitable.
Anyway I think it's an alright name - kind of like Morgan it has that androgynous-but-not-transsexual 80s vibe to me. But it is now ruined by Reagan, and a little by the popularity and MAY-GUN prn of Megan. Not by the movie.
