Spelling of a name

sarahannewege

So my husband and I really like the name Reagan but are not set on that spelling. I was thinking Regan or Ragan. Need some oppinions. I sort of like one of the shorter versions assuming people do not butcher her name.

I would use the traditional spelling of Reagan.  Just a heads up and I'm sure you know this but it's the name of the little girl in the movie "The Exorcist."  Yikes.

I do not like Ragan at all, but I do like the name and I would probably go with the traditional Reagan.

Reagan or Regan

NOT Ragan. Looks silly as does Raegan.

Completely agreed.

I know a Regan who pronounces it ree-gan. So that's what I think now when I see that name.

I like Reagan the best, but Regan is fine too.

Ragan is horrible and actually changes the pronunciation in my mind.

My vote is for Regan (which is how Shakespeare spelled it, and so I would have thought that would be the "traditional" way). Although I would pronounce it Ree-gan, like in the Exorcist. If you want to make Ray-gan the clear pronunciation, I guess spelling it like the president works. Definitely not Ragan.

I love this name when it is pronounced Reegan. Reagan reminds me too much of the president.

Yes my brother mentioned that but it is the name we like and a movie I have never seen (and will never see) so we are okay with that. Thanks for the spelling input though.
