Personal experiences with the name Reagen: | Edit

It's my name. I was born in 1980, so I got a lot of President Reagan references when I was younger and still the occasional one nowadays. There's also the drawback of it being the name of the girl who's head spins in the movie The Exorcist. However, I've had many people over the years exclaim how much they like it and how beautiful it is. It's unique enough so that I've always been the only Reagen wherever I've gone but not unique enough where people can't pronounce the thing.
