I'm writing a story and that's my main character's name. WHat does she make you think of?
Also I'm stuck on something to put in to make it different from all other stories. Any ideas?

I'm sorry but it reminds me of "The Exorcist"
Still creepy after all these years.

Yeah, I'm sorry but The Exorcist really ruined the name Regan for other authors. You say "Regan," I picture pea soup on a priest.

King Lear, of course. I actually really like the name but all its associations have been negative (as others have mentioned, Regan is the selfish daughter in King Lear and the little girl in The Exorcist) but maybe you can change the connotations : )

I agree with your other answer. Regan does make me think of "The Exorcist." I love the name though.

It makes me think of a president who died of Alzheimer's disease, even though his name was spelled differently. Also of one of King Lear's daughters.
> different from all other stories
Why? There are stories of love and death, courage and honor that have been around since the 12th century. They still read well. Just make it taut, well-written and realistic. Remember to show the readers what your character is like, don't tell them.

Love that name, it's very strong womans name. I picture a Regan Smart, with copperish brown hair and strong features, but still woman-like.
