Re: Raven (f)
I was hoping Eleanor wouldn't be too close in sound to Lenore, since the emphasis is on a different syllable; but another poster said it sounded like "Ray vanilla" and now I need to pick something else. :-PFrom the combos you've suggested, I like Raven Cassandra the most.***Please rate my personal name lists:www.behindthename.com/pnl/69381

It is pretty, but it's on-the-nose Edgar Allan Poe and I was trying to avoid being too gothic with it.

I can't unhear it either, but it doesn't phase me. Vanilla could be a sweet nickname, no pun intended. I think that the Lenore resemblance is worse, but neither is particularly bad. I think that Raven Eleanor sounds beautiful, but if it bothers you, maybe try Eleanor Raven in that order?I'm glad that you like at least ONE of my combos. Pairing Raven with other names is very hard. It stands better on its own, or with two middle names, in my view, Like Raven Amelia Eleanor. No more vanilla there! Or Raven Cassandra Amelia, Raven Lenore Amelia. Ignoring the Poe thing might make you happier.
