    Do you think of this as a boy or girl name?

    Not that I am pg again yet, but I have been thinkin about names for #3 and I love the Reagan (Regan)- to me it is a girls name because I went to uni with a girl called Regan, but I have also heard it as a boys name too.

    So do you think it is better suited as a boys name or girls?

    My first thought is boys name. I remember a guy I went to school with being Reegan, maybe thats why?

    I don't know anyone with that name and my first thought on reading it was a boy. I guess it could go either way now that I think about it.

    I don't know anyone by that name and my initial thoughts were a boy's name.

    I think with these unisex names that someone will always think it was the other sex's name, our ds name is du$ty (google privacy ) and most people think it's a girls name (du$ty springfield) or he is named after slim du$ty as he died just before ds was born.

    Ultimately you have to live with calling that child by it's name for the rest of your life so you have to be happy with it. Goodluck with TTC

    I have only ever heard it as a girls name before, so I think girl when I hear it.

    I don't know anyone by the name so for me I guess it could be either. Would you pronouce it "Ree-gan" or "Ray-gan"?

    I'm with Bath on the spelling. If Ray-gan then boy but Ree-gan then girl. Great name, BTW

    Regan - female...Wasn't she the daughter of King Lear?
    Definitely female

    I would think either. Probably brings to mind a boy first, but FWIW I prefer it as a girl's name.
