The name Reign is a girl's name of English origin. Reign is ranked #704 on our popularity charts and is often added to lists like Middle Names for Girls and discussed in our forums with posts like "Love, Like, Lose -- Outlandish/Guilty Pleasures edition!".
From the experts:
Reign is one of a new, ahem, kingdom of word names that suggest a high-born child, joining Royal, Lorde, Titan, Saint, King, Princess, and Noble. We predicted this kind of defining name to be the Number 1 baby name trend of 2015...two weeks before Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick named their third child, a boy, Reign. Reign is as appropriate for girls as for boys. The female version is often spelled Rain -- or Raine or Rayne -- though that makes is more nature and less royal word name. Reign entered the US Top 1000 for the first time in 2016.

I thin that definition you gave is what makes it seem tacky. To me it's just kind of arrogant seeming, somehow.

I love Rain as a middle name, but Reign? Nah. Too arrogant.

It is the opposite of tacky and isn't a weather prediction.

I prefer Rain or Rainey on a girl.

This looks much tackier than Rain.

I know this as the show 'Reign' on the CW - still it's a nice name if it was used as the weather version of it.

Agreed. People think they're being clever and that it sounds aristocratic!
It doesn't! It's just pretentious and tacky!
