Recently I've been crushing on Reagan for a girl. It's totally not my style (Elsa, Diana, Belle, etc) but I like it.
Maybe as a middle name?
Elsa Reagan
Diana Reagan
Bridget Reagan
*Also, would you think I wanted another son if I had a sibset of something like Jude, Dean, and Reagan?

I like Bridget Reagan from your list.
I love Dean and Jude together with Raegan as a sister.
Not everyone will think you are in love with the former president. (I don't automatically assume every kid named Clinton or Ike has some presidential association, so why should Reagan be any different?)
I think it's always interesting that people refer to this name as..it's a president
so is Lincoln, Jackson, Taylor, Harrison, Madison, Monroe, Kennedy, Tyler, Grant, Carter...just to name a few
It's on my DH's list of names for a girl (Reagan)..I'm so so on it. I just think it's funny that everyone immediately makes the president comment...
Just saying, obviously not everyone will make that association (I never said everyone would) but it is different from the examples you gave. The associations people have with it, as with any other name, are something I personally would take into consideration. Hell, DH and I realize that there are people nowadays who aren't very fond of Lincoln, either; I just don't care about people who dislike him for racist reasons.
We named DS Lincoln after the president. I would frankly be disappointed if people didn't immediately make that association because 1. to me the point of using a name is because of its history, meaning, and associations, not in spite of them and 2. educated Americans should know enough about history to make those associations. I don't know, maybe I'm in the minority - not on the BNB so much, because people here actually care what names mean - but just in general, because so many people like names for how they look and sound and not anything else. Which, I guess there's nothing wrong with that in the big scheme of things, it's just not how I work.
