Help[Opinions] Re: Margaret Thatcher nt
in reply to a message by beethoven
Reagan - surname usage has been far more popular in the US, whereas in the UK it is not as common. Using a surname makes a definite statement.
Reagan also fits in with current naming trends. As well as the surname thing, Teagan, Megan (which I've heard in some accents as MEEGIN) as well as the Irish connection. People would associate Reagan with the President, but with other things as well. They are more likely to meet other Reagans, Coopers, Montgomery's. In a country where our top names are Jack, Alfie, Archie etc, Thatcher would stick out. The only other association we have with it (apart from the fact it is an occupational surname we may encounter) is Margaret Thatcher.
