Is a common noun a regular noun?

If you mean a regular plural noun as opposed to an irregular plural noun, then the answer is that a common noun can be a regular plural or an irregular plural; and a proper noun can be either a regular plural or an irregular plural. The difference between how a regular and an irregular plural noun is formed is usually based on the origin language from which it came to the English language. A common noun is a word for any person, place, thing, or idea. A proper is the name of a specific person, place, thing, or a title. The regular plurals are formed by adding an 's' or an 'es' to the end of the singular noun to make it a plural noun. The irregular plurals are quite varied.
