[Opinions] Raven
What are your opinions of Raven? How unisex is it? I have used it for male characters, but would it work on a boy in real life? Is it too goth-y? Are there variations that are better?

Raven is my fiance's favorite name - for a girl. I definitely prefer it for a girl, but wouldn't be disgusted if it was on a boy (similar to how I like Rowan for a girl, but it doesn't bother me if it's for a boy).

I'd never use it, but I like ravens, and actually don't think it would be too bad on a boy. It is pretty gothy though. I guess it's the Poe association.

It's a GP for me, I think it might be a bit awkard in real life, but it could make a cool middle name.

Raven, Hawk and Eagle are total GPs for me and I only like them on a boy. I'd never use it in real life, but would love to see it in BAs.

I love Raven; but I much prefer it upon a girl. Crow could also work - and I'd like it a lot more for men than Raven. I actually love Raven's... dark and gothic feel. It makes it increasingly beautiful in my eyes. It's such a lovely name.

Raven. I've known one boy named Raven and he is not a very nice kid. I personally think its a strange name.
