Hello Moms,
I am looking for suggestions for a female middle name for Reagan. My only stipulation is that it also not end with an N sound (i.e. Ann, Lynn, etc.) I'm just having hard time coming up with anything. Thanks!

So What Happened?

I had no idea I would get so many suggestions! A couple things that were mentioned that I will touch on: my maiden name won't work for a girl, it's definitely a boy name; My other daughter's middle names are Elizabeth and Mary so obviously one is taken and Marie is so close I'm not sure; We try to have names with special meanings/reasons too but I needed somewhere to start :) There are several that we are considering. Thanks for your help!

The first name that popped up after reading before opening up to see the responses was Marie as well. Looks like Marie has the majority.

What is your maiden name? Will that work as a middle name? My daughter had my husbands maiden name as her middle name.

Hi,
I struggled looking for a girls name for my third child. I wanted a name that had a significant meaning. I have always been partial to the name Megan, but my last name begins with an F and my husband had been a middle school teacher years ago and suggested that the initials MF were probably not such a good choice. In my search for a name with meaning I ran across Reagan or Regan. It means regal or queenly. After two boys, the meaning just hit home. She would be our little princess. The middle name I chose to go with Regan was Mackenzie. It had a nice ring to it! (She happened to be born on the day that an airport in DC was renamed the Ronald Reagan airport AND our last name is Ford AND my husband is a history teacher-I Was not thinking presidential-an unfortunate coincidence. My husband's co-workers thought we should have given her the middle name McKinley. I like that too, but a little too presidential for me!!) Hope this helps a little. Good luck and enjoy your beautiful little princess.

Hi - I also named my daughter Reagan - her middle name is Laine. Lane is a family name (my grandmother's maiden name and in all generations under her, someone has the middle name of Lane - mostly boys - so we changed the spelling to Laine to be a little more femine). We love her name!!! There was never consideration for any other middle names for us... but good luck!!!

I like the sound and meaning of the following names: Reagan Michelle (who resembles God); Reagan Marie (star of the sea); and Reagan Patrice (noble). Reagan Alexis (protector) is also interesting.
Not crazy about these meanings, but I like the sound: Reagan Yvette (ewe); Reagan Natasha (birthday-Russian of Natalie); Reagan Denise (follower of Dionysius); Reagan Lynette (nymph or idol); or, maybe, Reagan Clarice (fame). http://www.thinkbabynames.com/

I came to post that Reagan Nicole sounds fabulous together, and I see that 2 people have already posted "Nicole"!

May I ask, what's your husband's name and what are your other two kids' names? The reason I ask is because when I choose a name for a child, I think of a few different things, but mainly- what the name means and if it's similar to any of the other immediate family members names. I like when a family has names that are similar, or start with the same letter or something, but I'm also VERY big on names that actually mean something and not just sound "cute" or "beautiful".
My boyfriend's initials are EJH, and his other children (I don't have any other children myself) have his same initials. So, in continuing with that trend, the baby that we're expecting now will be named Elijah Jai- Elijah meaning "The Lord is my God" and Jai meaning "Victory" or "Victorious".

I think since Reagan is not super-girly, having a middle name that is more old-fashioned and traditionally girly would be cute together--Reagan Elizabeth immediately came to mind. I think that would be lovely! You could probably look at your family tree and come up with a nice name of a grandmother or something that would go nicely.

Fun....I used to love fantasizing about possible baby names....but my husband never liked anything I did, and I never liked anything he did, and we almost never came up with names for our two children! :)

How about:

Reagan Claire
Reagan Leigh (or Reagan Lee)

Reagan Marie definitely has a nice ring to it, but understand your reluctance, with a sister named Mary. What about Reagan Cherie, which rhymes with Marie. :)
