Re: Raven and Robin
in reply to a message by Perrine
Yes, I get very different impressions from them. Robin is dowdy and middle-aged, while Raven is young and Gothic.
I have never liked Robin for a girl. I just don't find the sound attractive and I don't think the bird is all that attractive, either. If I have to, I prefer Robin for a girl as I find it too feminine sounding on a boy. I think the Robyn spelling makes the name more visually attractive, so again if I have to, I prefer that spelling.
I don't exactly dislike Raven, but I find its dark imagery a bit too much. I see it as feminine also.
