Gender: Female Origin of Reign: Word name Reign's Popularity in 2018: #532

Reign Origin and Meaning

The name Reign is a girl's name of English origin.

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.

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

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.
