Help[Opinions] Re: Regan
in reply to a message by Chrysanthemum
I don't think the fact that King Lear was written a long time ago makes much of a difference in this case. Shakespeare and his works have been incredibly well known for centuries, and will be for centuries to come.
That said, it's not like naming your kid Hamlet, in that it's not as associated with Shakespeare.
I personally really dislike the name. I find the sound whiney and I think it's trendy and androgynous. But, I don't think a little Regan would have much difficulty due to her name. There are enough similar-sounding popular names right now (Tegan, Keegan, Teagan, Reagan, Logan, Megan, etc.) that I can't foresee her getting any grief for it.
