Raegan is a ... modern spelling, while Reagan is more common.
Raegan is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Raegan cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #206 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2019. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Raegan, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their daughter. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Raegan seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Raegan was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
999 babies were named Raegan in 2022 - that's 1 in 149,881 newborn girls. With this number, the girls' name Raegan ranked 293 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
Everyone knows her, everyone loves her and still she’s different from the mainstream: Raegan occurs in every single state of the U.S. This may sound quite unspectacular at first, but in fact, of the more than 50,000 different female first names that occur in the USA, just 537 are recorded in each individual state, so the name Raegan is definitely something very special. However, at the same time, since the name does not appear in the top 100 most common first names in any single state, Raegan is not one of those names that one encounters in every neighbourhood, but stands out from the crowd, is noticeable and special without being strange or unknown. From Alaska to Florida, a total of 21,358 women and girls of all generations bear the name Raegan – that is one in 7,218. However, there are considerable regional differences – the name is far more popular than average in Utah, where one in 2,723 women and girls is called Raegan, while it is particularly rare in New Mexico, where you have to ask an average of 28,233 women for their name to get Raegan as an answer once.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter R is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for girls' names: 4.1% of all common girls' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of girls' names are A and S, while X and U are the least common initials of girls' names.
With six letters, the name Raegan is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
Thus, it follows that if 4.1% of all girls' names start with an R, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: Rebecca is the girls’ name starting with R, which is the most common of all.
If your name is Raegan and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
