My parents both come from fairly large families.... with lots of names...

My mom had 6 brothers and 5 sisters...
Martin Albert
Teresa Ann
Patricia ?
Jeanne Maureen (her married last name is Henne, but it is pronounced "Hen-nee")
Thomas Bruce (they called him TB-Terrible Behinder)
John Fergus
Jennifer Regina (rhymes with the body part)
Roberta Suzanne(?)
Daniel ?
Michael ?
Dennis ?
and my mom, Diana Lisa
i don't even know all of my cousins, much less their names.... and most of them are common names anyway...

My dad had 2 sisters and one brother
Pamela Jean- Married David Lawrence and had Elizabeth Marie (Libby, or as me and my brother call her LalalalaLibby), Rebecca Jean (Becky), and Christopher David (Chris). Libby married Roy and has three kids: Taylor Elizabeth, Emma Gene, and Cooper Miller. Becky married Dennis and has one son, Zachariah. Chris married Elizabeth and they don't have any kids yet.
Susan Dale- Married James Royal (Jim). His parents were slightly pretentious. They have three sons- Michael James, Scott David and Tyler Monroe. No grandkids yet.
Joel Eugene- Married Myrtle Jean (she goes by Jeannie... wouldn't you?) They had Joel Eugene Jr., Andrew Pruitt, and Emily Jean. Joel Jr. Married Shannon Nicole and they had Brian Walter and Katherine Nicole. Andy married Jennifer and they had Avery Lynn, Sasha Jean, and another unnamed one on the way.
and my dad is Michael George- he married my mom (duh). My name is Rachel Diana (though i have been known to spell it Raychelle) and my brother is Alexander Michael. He thinks Alex is too feminine and has taken to spelling it "Alx". Weird
So yeah... lots of names to contend with...

Hmm, I like Regina and wanted to ask what people here thought of it.

A lot of people have responded to me that they hate it, because "eww it sounds like you-know-what"! But I say it "Re-jeen-uh," and it's fine that way...
