My great-grandad's name was Reginald "Reg".

---

I think Reg is kind of old fashioned, but Reggie is quite cute. I think Reggie Yates makes it seem more acceptable for younger people, as he's only 28. I can imagine a young child called Reggie working quite well.

---

My great-grandad's sisters were called Edith "Edie" and May. I think Edie and Reggie would be a super-cute sibset!

I think it's sleazy and generally without charm. :-/ Reg sounds just as unappealing to me, I'm sorry to say.

---

In my mother's dorkier moments she still says "pull a Reggie" if she wants you to take a right turn while driving (as opposed to hang a Louie, which would be left).

Sure. Why not?

---

2 sibs? boys, girls or 1 of each?

---

Matthias / Mattias
Joshua

---

Sabrina
Jessica

First things that popped in my head for each gender that would sound ok together.

I like NN Reggie but Reginald is a little TOO stuffy for my liking - I'm picturing an argyle vest, tube socks, penny loafers, reading glasses and a tobacco pipe.

---

Reginalds siblings would be named...

---

Theodore
Arthur
Frederick
Quincy
Jeremiah
Phillip
Clarence
Timothy
Malcolm
Leonard
Maurice
Linus
Vincent
Norman
Charles
Franklin

---

Dorothy
Josephine
Miriam
Opal
Harriet
Wilhelmina
Priscilla
Kathleen
Mathilda
Florence
Agatha
Vivian
Berenice
Lavinia
Georgette
Louisa

I have a friend named Reginald "Reggie", definitely usable in my opinion.

---

His siblings are Wayland, Janet, Ashley, Sheldon, and Aileen.

Aw, cute. Reggie would be awesome! Yeah, I think it's revivable. It sounds a little sweater-vest-ish, so I'd go with something like

---

Bennett
Chadwick
Geoffrey
Alistair
Neil
Giles

---

Claudia
Camilla
Victoria
Regina
Celia
Adrienne

Reginald is just the sort of P.G. Wodehouse / Oscar Wilde name that I eat for breakfast. I love, love, love it. I would use the nn Rex, but Reg is cute too.

---

Reginald, Owen and Frances
Reginald, Owen and Cecily
Reginald, Owen and Phoebe
Reginald, Owen and Sibyl
Reginald, Owen and Beatrice
Reginald, Owen and Hermione
Reginald, Owen and Glynis
Reginald, Owen and Edith
Reginald, Owen and Daphne
Reginald, Owen and Alice
Reginald, Owen and Maude

---

I think Reginald Owen / Owens was an old British film actor so I'm cheating a bit here. Still, Reginald and Owen do sound great together. Happy hunting!

I'm sorry, I like the name too, but I don't think it is revivable (at least, not quite yet). It is my ex-best friend's middle name, and EVERYONE makes fun of him for it. Even his mom. Apparently, it was the name of his dad's favourite uncle, so she felt obligated to use it.

---

That being said, I do know a Reynaud who really rocks his name.

---

I would probably do Reginald, Edmond, and Dorothea. Adorable!

---

Ugh, I can't stand Reginald. Reginald is almost comically stuffy and, at the same time, so slick it's almost slimy.

---

I don't have a very positive image of Reginald, obviously, so for sibs I'm afraid I'd pick names that give me a similar vibe: Araminta (stuffy and spoiled) and Peregrine (stuffy and weak willed/untrustworthy). Reginald, Araminta, and Peregrine...they could be wicked siblings right out of Masterpiece Theatre, all grasping for the family fortune and stabbing each other in the back between cocktails.

It's very cute and proper. I like the idea of it on a kid.

---

Reginald goes with so much, as I'm finding out. Some ideas (* are my favorites):

---

Forsythe (I wonder if this is too Archie comics? I didn't even realize it at first.)
Eugene
Phillip
Horatio*
Augustus
Albertus
Alphonse*
Jocelyn*

---

Quintina*
Elvira
Amalia
Drusilla
Anthea
Penelope
Clotilda*
Dionisia / Dionysia*
Rohese
Faustine
Hester
Ianthe*
Iole
Ione
Parthenope*

---

My favorite pairings are:

---

Reginald, Dionysia and Clotilda "Reg, Di and Tilly / Tilda"
Reginald, Quintina and Augustus "Reg, Tina and Gus"
Reginald, Horatio and Alphonse "Reg, Al and I don't know what for Horatio"

---

Sorry, but I can't seem to pair Reginald without going for totally over the top names.

Oh, I love Reginald! It's unapologetically stiff and stately, though it sustains a jaunty, youthful streak under the layers of sophistication.

---

As for siblings, I first thought of Ambrose and Augusta.

I find it stuffy and awkward. I say no.

I personally LOOVE Reginald. I don't know what it is about it. It's so dark and slick and shining, like blue-black hair. I love how it clip-clops over the cobblestones of its own syllables. I love the tender-growly Reggie. I know it's considered pretty old fashioned and probably not revivable at all, but I would find a baby Reginald very chic.

---

for siblings, I would definitely call his brother Arthur, and his sister Sylvia.

---

Other ideas:

---

Clifford
Leon
Randolph
Raymond
Sylvester

---

Matilda
Dulcie
Belinda
Helen, Ellen
Maude, Maud
