Regulus

The traditional name of the brightest star in the constellation Leo and a minor character in the "Harry Potter" series might be a good pick for parents interested in a regal name but turned off by the blatancy of Royalty and King. The nickname Reggie is all but inevitable, for better or worse.

Pronounced REG-yuh-lus.

As of October 2026, Regulus ranked #10443 for boys in US births in 2025 SSA.
