Nicknames for Reagan

Nicknames in our family are a huge deal and we've all been working over time trying to figure out the best nicknames for our new niece/cousin/granddaughter - Reagan. Here's what we've got so far. Keep in mind, that it's OK to have as many as six degrees of separation to come up with the nickname. In my family as soon as my parents would outlaw a given nickname for one of us, we could derive a new one slightly different from the original, but hadn't been officially outlawed yet.

Here's what we've got so far for Reagan Violet. Feel free to add your own:
  1. Ronny
  2. Ray-Gun
  3. Gunner or Gunnie
  4. Dutch (Reagan's nickname).
  5. The Duchess
  6. Fergie (aka as The Duchess)
  7. R.V. (Reagan Violet)
  8. The Gipper (from the Knute Rockne movie starring Reagan)
  9. Guppy
  10. Viola
  11. Purple (similar color to violet)
One of my proudest nicknames was derived in the hospital parking lot on my way up to see the first nephew - Matthew. His nickname sticks with him today - as Shabadu.

I recommended RV to Jon on Friday - so that's my personal favorite. Others mentioned around here are Rea-Rea, Ray of light, and Regina Steamer Carpet Cleaner
