Do you like the name Regan? What does it make you think of?

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.

Good ole president Ronald Regan.

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 : )
