I love the name Regan, I loved The Exorcist, when you really think about it Regan wasn’t evil, the demon that possessed her was. She was a nice, cute kid before she was possessed. I also really like Samara but it’s already my niece’s middle name. I’d consider using Regan (ray-gan) for another girl if I had one.
I like Mildred too with the nn Millie.
