Re: Ravenna
in reply to a message by Gaia
While I greatly prefer Raven for a boy (I hate Raven for a girl unless she's a gothic character), I do like Ravenna as well, it's much more feminine than Raven and I like the Dante Alighieri association it has due to the city. Ravenna is a unique name but not in a weird way, and I really like the dark, mysterious, and poetic vibe of it.
Because of its uniqueness, I'd prefer to pair it with something more common in order to balance that out. I adore Raven Alexander for a boy, so naturally, I like Ravenna Alexandra and Ravenna Alexandria for a girl as well. Other pairings that I'd consider would be Ravenna Beatrix, Ravenna Rosemarie, Ravenna Isabella, Ravenna Sophia, Ravenna Charlotte, Ravenna Elizabeth, Ravenna Opal, and Ravenna Eve.
