Help[Opinions] Re: Name from tiktok
in reply to a message by jemis17
It's cringe, in a cute way. The kind of name I might have claimed to name a daughter when I was a teenager, if I'd been seeking attention on tiktok. The kind of name one gives to their avatar in an MMORPG. I mean, I like the name Raven. I like crows. And Ruidia is a GP of mine.
I think it's not unusable in the US where we pronounce the R. Just kind of fanciful and self-conscious, like naming a kid Anakin.
Corva - now that would be kind of cool. Not quite as associated by sound with non-namey things (COVID and NVIDIA and maybe invidious, vs just Corvette and maybe vaguely larva) - also less purple and gothy, and more consistent with the word corvus and name Corvo.
I dislike the nicknames Coco and Birdie.

Corva is cool! That would make an awesome fantasy name.
