Already commented this on someone elses post, but it's unpopular marauders' opinions time:

Regulus was never called Reg or Reggie. Instead, his friends all called him R.A.B. or Rab. This is why he was 100% convinced Voldemort would know who the hell R.A.B. was with the note he left in the locket, even though he doesn't seem to be a particularly important death eater.

#marauders #marauders era #regulus black #hp #harry potter #marauders headcanons #hp headcanons #this is hypothetically and dubiously canon compliant so I'll tag both #sidenote: I also don't think his enemies last-named him very frequently #in a similar way that I don't think the Weasley's were lastnamed very frequently outside of people in their own year #like if Malfoy wanted to talk down about Ron he'd call him Weasley but he'd use some other derogatory nickname for any other Weasley kid #I think people tended to associate just “Black” with Sirius who was likely far more well known #so they probably called him “The little Black” or Regulus Black or “that stuck up little Black git” or maybe even “Baby Black”#just not straight up “Black”
