- While レジー refers to a person, the similar-sounding word レジ ('reji') is the common Japanese shorthand for a cash register, derived from the English word 'cash register'.
- When using レジー in a professional setting, Japanese speakers would almost always add the suffix さん to create レジーさん to avoid sounding overly blunt.
- While 'Reggie' is a diminutive of 'Reginald' in English, a Japanese person hearing レジー will treat it as a complete, independent name without assuming a longer version exists.
