I grew up with 2 girls named Reagan and unfortunately they both tainted the name for me because they were both extremely snobby and mean. So when I hear that name I think of the kind of girls in high school I hope my daughter never is:)
That is just my view though and everyone has different taste:)
Reagan Andrea (i thought this would be a cute way to honor dad - i saw in your siggy his name is andrew) - have you guys considered Adrienne or Adrianna - it would be a cute addition to your kids, a cute way to honor dad, and lots of sweet nn possibilities.
Reagan Elisabeth
Reagan Eleanor
Reagan Violet
Reagan Noelle
I think you would need a very feminine middle name with such a unisex fn...
HTH - Jaime
Reagan for some reason - is just nms.

I'm not a big fan of Reagan. Part of it, though, is just that I've maxed out on the presidential surnames, e.g., Madison, Jackson, Kennedy, Truman, Reagan, Carter. They start to become just a blur to me, though with the exception of Madison, there probably aren't really that many people with these names.
They also run together with all the many non-presidential surnames, though -- Cooper, Sawyer, Parker, Hunter, Jameson, Emerson, and so on. Again, each individual name is fine; I just tired quickly of the surname trends, for some reason.
If I were going to use Reagan as a first name, though, I'd probably pair it with a more feminine middle name...perhaps Reagan Celine, Reagan Elise, or Reagan Sophia.
I can't disassociate the name Reagan from President Reagan, so it's NMSAA. Regan (REE-gan) has a prettier sound, imo, and looks more feminine, but it has dreadful associations thanks to Lear and The Exorcist. In the same family, I would prefer Kennedy, Carter, Megan, Riley, Teagan, Lane, Keely, or Tatum.
Some mn combos for Reagan:
Reagan Alexandra
Reagan Lily
Reagan Alice
Reagan Sarah
Reagan Samantha
Reagan Violet
Reagan Melissa
Reagan Hope
I just watched the Exorcist the other day (hadn't seen it in years) and in the movie they pronounce it RAY-GAN...just thought I would mention that.
