Regan would be REEgan and Reagan would, appropriately, be RAYgun.
King Lear's middle daughter would likewise be REEgan.
Megan is tricky. I always expect MEGan, and therefore also expect people wanting the MEEgan pronunciation to spell it Meagan or Meaghan. But I do know one South African Megan who uses the long EE. (At her wedding, the minister alternated between MEGan and MEEgan, in spite of wild semaphoring gestures from the front pew!)
I'm from South Africa, but I'm told I speak British English.

They rhyme to me, reh-gan and meh-gan. Although it is common around here to hear people say ray-gan and may-gan, also. I live in the midwest United States.
I'm from Canada and I say "ray-ginn" (hard G), and "meg-in", respectively.

I'm from Canada. I hope those pronunciations make sense...the 'g' is a hard 'g'. "MEG" is pronounced like "meh + g", not MAYG or MEEG.

I'm from the US. I pronounce them the same: RAY-gun and MAY-gun.
