'Reagan' - A fine name, but as a christian name?
Ronald the Great's surname was the 80th most popular name for girls born in the US last year, apparently (regn. required).
Four of the leading five - Sophia, Isabella, Emma, Madison (another highly rated President, but also the name of a number of towns) and Ava are more conventionally feminine sounding.
As to chaps, all the rage are Aiden, Ethan, Jacob, Jayden and Caden. Each to their own I suppose. Only the top ten names have been available, but in 2006 William (a fine name...) made #25.
Much as there is a total absence of Wongs called Suzie these days, Britney did not feature in 2006, and presumably not in 2007.

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
At least none of the girlies have been called Ronald(a).
Regan, Goneril & Cordelia - the last J Selwyn Gumma's liw girl.
if you ever pass by Beijing, World of Suzie Wong's is a fine bar/nightclub, inhabited by the wealthier local folk and banking expats.
CU - I'll bear it in mind. Cheers. I also hear tales of the Chinese being very good at standing drinks to friendly / respectful gwailos.
Why Aiden, Jayden and Caden? Are they trying to pick names that are easy to rhyme or something?
