The story of Reggie

Reggie is a pet form of Reginald, made from the short form Reg with the friendly -ie ending. It can also be short for Regina, though in Ireland it is given almost only to boys. Like Teddy, Freddie and Alfie, it is an old nickname that parents now choose as a full name.

Reggie first appears in the CSO records in 2014, with 3 boys. It has climbed quickly since, and it peaked in 2025, with 31 babies, when it reached number 158 once spellings are combined.

It is noticeably more popular in Northern Ireland. There it reached number 69 in 2025, with 34 boys, more than in the whole of the Republic that year.
