HelpRe: Regina - thoughts and alternatives?
in reply to a message by cathemeral
I think Regina is very pretty. Especially the nn Gina. Of course, I don't like Regina pronounced like the Canadian city, which rhymes with vagina.
I don't like Reggie on a girl at all; it's just so aggressively, self-consciously butchy it's embarrassing. I like it for a boy because it has a strong association with athletes. (On a white boy it sounds a bit cliched-British-dandy, like Bertie Wooster.)
John Grisham had a character in The Client named Regina, nn Reggie.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

I appreciate the thoughts on Regina, but I wasn't looking for feedback on the nn Reggie. I like it.
