I think it's still usable. Years ago, I wanted to name a daughter Regan Alexis, but I wouldn't use Regan now because of Ronald Reagan. I personally prefer it pronounced RAY-gan as opposed to REE-gan even though RAY-gan comes along with the President association. After reading some of the other replies, it seems like that wouldn't be much of an issue outside of the U.S. though.
