[Opinions] Regan
Replies
1) REE-gən, REH-gən, or RAY-gən.
2) It's not terrible but I don't like it.
3) Regan & Goneril + Ronald Reagan + this youtuber https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy6Qlkv2hif7KPtmMmNUGUw
4) With no associations, I'd prefer Regan (either REE-gən or REH-gən), but with the associations I might actually prefer Megan (MEHG-ən). I say Tegan as TEE-gən.
5) Rhiannon
6) Regan. The name Reagan might inspire the baby to destroy the economy when she grows up lol.

1) "ree-gan" not "ray-gan" or "ray-gun". "ree" as in "tree" and "gan" as in "Gandhi".
2) Yes
3) Reagan was the surname of a classmate in primary school. He was a nice little boy. I also associate it with Ronald Reagan, but the most I know about that guy is the line from Back to the Future; "Ronald Reagan? THE ACTOR?!" I know nothing of his politics or presidency. I didn't even know it was the same name because they pronounce it differently than I do (ray-gun rather than ree-gan)
4) I pronounce Teagan / Tegan similarly, rhyming with Reagan / Regan. "te" as in "tea bag" and not "tay". Same with Megan with "meg" rhyming with "peg" and not "may"
If any of this is unclear, I could probably pull a pronunciation off the internet instead xD
I prefer Reagan over Regan, but I like the name
I prefer Teagan over Tegan, but I like the name
I don't mind either Megan or Meagan, so long as the pronunciation isn't "may-gun" which the "a" in Meagan might be confused for
I prefer Regan / Reagan over Rhiannon, but Rhiannon is a nice name

I like it pronounced ray-gan. I do prefer Raegan though.
My only association is with King Lear's middle daughter; not a role model.
Apart from that, it's a surname, which I don't enjoy. And I think President Reagan had a government minister surnamed Regan. Too much!
I pronounce it REEg'n
I dislike it.
See above.
I far prefer Megan, pronounced MEG'n. My son was at school with a Tegan who pronounced it TEEg'n; I would have guessed TEG'n.
Rhiannon, all the way!
Regan, Reagan, what's the difference really? Dislike them both.

REE-gun. Nope, I really hate it.
Note, I pronounce Reagan RAY-gun. I hate that too.

1. It's not obvious to me. Looked it up on BtN, so ree-gehn, I guess.
2. I'm indifferent.
3. No, other than similar looking names.
4. Tegan (tee-gehn), not Regan. No preference between Regan and Megan (mehg-in).
5. Rhiannon, not Regan.
6. Regan, not Reagan (ray-gehn).
I like Rhiannon, don't like Reagan, don't care about Tegan, Regan, Megan.

1. REE-gan
2. I used to. I'm not a big fan of it now, it's a bit boring and I feel like it's already dated (to the 90s/ 2010s).
3. I have known one female and one male Regan. The girl was about 4 when I knew her, she had dark curly hair and she was a nice enough kid, except she was easily led into doing the wrong thing by one of her friends. The male was in his mid teens when I knew him, he had longish blond hair and a wicked sense of humour.
4. I think I slightly prefer Tegan to Regan, but I prefer Regan to Megan. I pronounce all of them as rhyming with each other.
5. Definitely Regan over Rhiannon.
6. Regan over Reagan, I find the pronunciation more straight forward with Regan.

1. REE-GAN
2. Not really. It reminds me way too much of Ronald Reagan, and I would ever really use it. 5/10. I prefer it as a surname.
3. Ronald Reagan. (Even though it’s spelled differently.)
4. I think they all pretty much suck. But I prefer Megan by a long shot.
5. Meh, I don’t like either.
6. Regan.
