Re: Raven and Robin
in reply to a message by Perrine
I like both names, but I would use Robin while Raven is more of a guilty pleasure.
Raven - It could still work on a girl, but it is dated and is heavily associated with witchy fictional characters. For a boy, it is associated with 90s goth to the extent that it's cliché. As I said, I really like it, but I wouldn't use it.
Robin - I like it on a girl but love it on boys. Between Robin Hood and Robin Williams, I get a light hearted, quick thinking, prankster vibe. It is whimsical but also capable of seriousness (Robin Hood is associated with resisting tyrannical government and Robin Williams could be very serious at times). Robin is one of my favorite names for boys, and I would consider using it.
