I’ve been rewatching the show Once Upon a Time, and have been drawn to the name [name_f]Regina[/name_f], who is one of the main characters. I think it is absolutely stunning. I am considering adding it to my list, potentially as a middle name option.
What are your thoughts about [name_f]Regina[/name_f]? Is [name_f]Regina[/name_f] outdated? [name_m]Can[/name_m] it work for all ages? Combos as a first name or a middle name? Thank you!
I think it’s pretty! If you love it and think it’s stunning, you should definitely add it to your list.
I don’t think [name_f]Regina[/name_f] is outdated. A lot of names that may be described as “dated” are still very much in use and well-loved & accepted. As FuzzBall said, I agree that the name is the sort of name that can grow with a person.
My first thought was Mean Girls ([name_f]Regina[/name_f] [name_u]George[/name_u]).
I think the meaning is cool. It might be a tad dated, but definitely not unusable. Nicknames like [name_f]Gia[/name_f], [name_f]Gigi[/name_f], [name_u]Reggie[/name_u], etc. can also liven it up a bit.
I always think of [name_f]Regina[/name_f] Spektor. The name works for all ages and there are “younger” sounding NN if you want. [name_u]Reggie[/name_u], [name_f]Gina[/name_f], [name_f]Nina[/name_f].
Thank you so much for the combos! [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f], [name_f]Estelle[/name_f], [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], and [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] are all on my list, so you definitely did a good job with the combos! I especially love [name_f]Regina[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f], [name_f]Regina[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], and [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Regina[/name_f]. So lovely!
Regina’s not my style (it’s imposing as opposed to understated), but that’s exactly why it’s a good name! It’s strong and regal. I don’t think it’s extremely dated.
I also have [name_f]Regina[/name_f] on my list because of OUAT. I think it has a good meaning and she is a strong character who grows into a good role model. The only thing for me is that it is hard to picture on a baby, but they won’t be babies long so that doesn’t really matter.
[name_f]Regina[/name_f] Hail

I like this name a lot. I think it has a great sound and meaning, and I’m a big fan of [name_f]Regina[/name_f] Spektor’s music. I don’t find it dated (at least not in my area - I’ve never met a [name_f]Regina[/name_f]).
Thank you for the combos! I love [name_f]Regina[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f], [name_f]Regina[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], and [name_f]Regina[/name_f] [name_u]Lane[/name_u].
I just recently added [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] to my list, so I’m really liking [name_f]Regina[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]! [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] is in my top 5, and [name_f]Regina[/name_f] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] is so sweet! I also am partial to alliterative names, because I have one, and [name_f]Regina[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] is gorgeous. Thank you!
