Re: Baby Girl Names
Have you considered anything else?
I really dislike Raegan, although I love the literary name Regan.

I think of Morgan as more of a masculine name, but it's one of few names I will grudgingly admit to be almost truly unisex. Plus there's no question to spell it. So that's my pick.
And if you think we're rude (I don't think anyone was), you are not the one who has to live with the name. You're making this decision for another person, who will live with it long after you're gone. As with a lot of other parenting decisions, sometimes you have to set aside your own feelings to make the best choice for your child. Not that a name is as important as safety issues, etc., but we wouldn't be here if we didn't think it was important enough to be honest with you.

Maybe this is a name the 70s-born mothers are more tied to the presidential association with. I speculate the 90s born mothers (I feel O L D pointing out they exist!) wouldn't think of as readily. I still remember the annoyingly catchy tune of "Say No to Drugs" brought to my elementary school by Nancy Reagan's efforts. Not making a commentary about Reagan politics. Just saying the name Reagan will alway say to me Ronald, Nancy, Reaganomics, the last breaths of the Cold War, and my 80s era childhood which would not have been complete without that Say No to Drugs song
And PS-don't take it so personally. When you ask for honest opinions you are going to get them. People aren't criticizing you, so relax.
I don't like either. Morgan is the better of the options.
Your spelling of Reagan is hideous.
My opinion (since you asked) is that it is not the prettiest name, but it isn't horrible or polarizing either. I know a handful of female Morgans and they are doing fine.
Reagan (or Raegan. Seriously?) is pretty ugly and has a lot of political associations I wouldn't want to strap on my kid. I have a friend whose daughter is Kennedy and I feel the same way about that name.

Not liking a name does not equal rude.
Morgan is a perfectly fine name for a little girl.
