If you spell it RAE it will be pronounced Ray-gan isntead of "ree-gan" in my opinion. </p> <p>I have a cousin name Rowan taht is a boy and a friend's daughter is Rowan, I like it a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-611279 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 12:33:53 +0000 hellobeeboston 611279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would! I like that spelling... and I have always loved that name... and actually, i think that spelling makes it easier for people to say RAY-GAN, and not REE-GAN. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-611247 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 12:27:59 +0000 andrea86 611247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it! In fact if I didn't already have a Kennady it would be a top contender for this baby. I wouldn't worry about spelling. Although Kennady's name is spelled "differently" people generally ask before they start to write it so whether it was spelled with an "e" or an "a" she would get questioned the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-611217 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 12:19:28 +0000 mediagirl 611217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I'm totally a traditionalist so I say no to the different spelling but yay to how you want to pronounce it. I want people to pronounce my daughter's name with an "a" emphasis on the e. So far it's working. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-611196 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 12:10:25 +0000 Mrs. Pen 611196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: FWIW I have a name that is ALWAYS mis spelled and quite frankly I don't care!!! I love my name, I love that it's not a name everyone else has and if that means I have to constantly correct people and spell it out, it's so meh to me. </p> <p>I like the name :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-611175 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 12:03:38 +0000 birdieputt 611175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my friend named her daughter "raegan" - it totally works! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-610831 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 10:13:59 +0000 twinmama 610831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably spell it the traditional way. But I love the name, and for a girl, I definitely associate it with King Lear's daughters - Reagan, Goneril, and Cordelia. Maybe a boy would associate more with the past president for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-610671 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 09:38:11 +0000 Mrs. J 610671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably spell it the traditional way. I like both Reagan and Rowan! So cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-610641 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 09:29:43 +0000 loveisstrange 610641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not. I'd spell it the normal way.</p> <p>IMO, I like Rowan better! SO cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-609843 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 20:06:56 +0000 rachiecakes 609843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I know a "Raemi" :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-609794 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 19:38:29 +0000 birdofafeather 609794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay for Rowan! ;)</p> <p>I agree with PPs that it looks like a typo of Reagan, but I love the name Reagan for a girl! I dont like it would be mispronounced as Raegan, just misspelled. Remy is also cute </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-609719 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 18:51:49 +0000 Sweet T 609719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the name but I think people would think the spelling was a typo. I would go with Ragen instead. I love the name Rowan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-609548 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 15:57:06 +0000 mrsmate 609548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@honeybear: I know sisters who are Rhiannon and Reagan!</p> <p>To answer the original question, no I would not use Raegan. I prefer traditional spellings.</p> <p>What about Raven? No ones going to hve ears of that's so raven by the time our LOs hit school age. Rosine? Rayanne? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-609546 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 15:56:53 +0000 MrsTiz 609546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why is it that you don't want to use the typical spelling? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-609516 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 15:37:51 +0000 Irishmom 609516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-609514 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 15:36:00 +0000 Ash 609514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the spelling 'Raegan' :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-609505 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 15:12:33 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 609505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my opinion, Raegan looks like a typo of Reagan.</p> <p>But I love Reagan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-609503 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 15:10:29 +0000 Boogs 609503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't just because of the political ties, but if it's a name that's important to your family then I can see why you would use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-609416 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:04:20 +0000 Pink Champagne 609416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally prefer the spelling "Reagan" if you are going to go with that name (which I personally don't like, but hey, it's not my kid)<br /> I like Rowan, though. That's cuter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-609404 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 13:59:20 +0000 honeybear 609404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Similar: Rhiannon (for a girl). I'm not nuts about it, but Regan (REE-gan) is very similar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-609345 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 12:44:14 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 609345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not something I would choose. #1 because of the political connotations and #2 because of the spelling. I have a relatively straightforward name that has many optional spellings and it is never ever spelled correctly. I just roll with it, but occasionally it has implications for important documents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-609290 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 11:55:50 +0000 lomom 609290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally not an R name but I love Emerson for a girl. Just throwing it out there, since its kind of seems similar to Rowan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-609282 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 11:53:38 +0000 lomom 609282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to spell my first and last name out at least once a day and even then, people still butcher it beyond belief. I love the name Reagan, but I personally wouldn't change the spelling having grown up with an alternative spelling. It may not seem like a big deal (and in the grand scheme of things it isn't) but it gets pretty annoying! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-609253 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 11:40:03 +0000 Emsmems 609253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend with a 3 year old girl named Raegan and spelled like that. I don't think anyone pronounces it wrong. Spells it wrong, yes, but I think in this day and age a lot of people know to ask for the spelling of your name. I get a "and how do you spell that?" a lot and I have a very normal, classic name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-609233 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 11:30:04 +0000 chopsuey 609233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I don't see why not? It's cute.<br /> My nieces name is Roenne (pronounced Rowan) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-609206 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 11:14:43 +0000 photojane 609206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the name &amp; your spelling! I have to correct and spell out my name all the time, but I don't find it that annoying. I actually like that I have a fairly uncommon name! :)</p> <p>FWIW, I like Rowan too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-609201 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 11:10:06 +0000 SAHM0811 609201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you and potential daughter don't mind others spelling it wrong practically all the time (including maybe on important documents too), then I suppose! I know someone who changed up the name Rachel... and it's always getting butchered! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-609071 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 09:29:38 +0000 sorrycharlie 609071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love that name, but I'd also probably go with the traditional spelling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-609064 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 09:22:12 +0000 T.H.O.U. 609064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ETA - we would want the pronunciation to be Ray-gan but wouldn't worry if it was mispronounced (I don't think there is a huge difference) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-use-the-name-raegan-spelled-that-way#post-609062 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 09:20:19 +0000 autumnlove 609062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would not. I also prefer Reagan. </p>
