Draven

I personally think that Draven is a really cool name! Like the style and I really don't like it on a girl.

My name is Draven and I think that my name is really cool. I was born in 2007 and I have never met anyone else with my name. I don't know why I was named Draven but I think that it was a good choice.

My name's Draven and my mom named me after the movie The Crow and a kid she had a crush on when she was a kid.

My name is Draven and I was born in 2002. I only know of 3 people in my local area who share my name. My father said he has never watched The Crow before and said that he just thought of the name.

I personally love this name. I will definitely be naming my son this in the future. Draven means "child of the beautiful shadows' and I find that really beautiful. I only found out about this name because I saw it when reading a story and it has just really stuck ever since.

The Crow and League of Legends come to mind when I see this name. It's an interesting name though for either a guy or girl. I haven't met anyone with the name, but probably with the popularity of LoL it's being used again.

Draven can also be used as a feminine name too. Three girls on this website made comments about their names being Draven. Three in a row. I think three of those girls have feminine middle names. It’s usually male names that become unisex. Female names will never become unisex. Draven is a nice name for either gender, but I prefer it slightly more for a boy since it sounds more masculine than feminine to me.

My name is Draven Brown. I was born 08-24-1995 and I am currently 23. I was named after the popular movie “The Crow”. Although the name Draven mostly became popular because of Eric Draven it has deep Scandinavian roots meaning “black bird.

My son is also Draven, he was born in '95. I've had certain people tell me it was evil and cruel to use that name. REALLY sad, he is now 23 and he loves his name, I also think a lot of people took the name from some of us who truly got it from the movie instead of hearing about it.

Sorry to the one who said that their son was the first with the name in the U.S., but he is not the first. My son's name is Draven and he was born on 09/02/2000. We are originally from Kansas and Draven wasn't used that much. My mother picked out his name from the movie, "The Crow"! There are a few others with the same name around this area (Kentucky). Draven is becoming more common. I personally like the name and feel as if it's unique and different.

With the bird association, it could be drake and raven put together.

My son was named Draven in 1998. At the time his name was chosen because of the movie the Crow. I will say at the time I named him because I loved the movie and liked the uniqueness of the name. However, at a young age he sustained a life altering injury. And the meaning of a child from dark shadows fits. Also much like the character in the movie he rose from tragedy and has been
Unstoppable.

My son's name is also Draven but it is spelt Dravin. He was the first Dravin in MS. I chose this name not only because of Brandon Lee's character, I chose it because it is a strong name that in Old English means "Hunter". It is also the Gaelic derivative of Draken and means "Son of the Dragon".

This sounds like some made-up name a goth youth or goth wannabe would use in order to appear "tough"

Honestly, what reasonable person would name their child "Draven" as their given name? It's silliness.

My son's name is Draven. He was born in 2010 and people love the name, my uncle actually came up with the name. He had a Rottweiler named Draven and I thought it was an awesome name. People have asked me if I named him from the movie "the Crow" but I didn't.

I named my son Draven in 1998. I think it is a unique strong masculine name. I do not regret naming him Draven. People always remember him because he is as unique as his name. All these John, David, Dylan, Madison, Sophie, Emma etc... UGH!... Certainly isn't a name you'd feel embarrassed about in an interview, and it's not on a top 10 popular names list:). I never had 3 kids answer me at the park when I called to my son and for the last 15 years people have always had nice comments on his name!:)
He's in High School now... he says the girls love his name:( scary!

Sorry to the person who thought they had the 1st US bred Draven in 2002, guess the SSA didn't know what they were talking about. My son was born 4/1/00 with Draven as his first name. It is a play off a Scottish/ Celtic word... but I chose it from The Crow. To honor Brandon Lee... he was killed shooting the film The Crow. In the movie he was reborn to avenge his wife's murder and right a wrong. I look at the name as a hero, a dark Angel of redemption.

I named my son Draven in February 2002. I was told that he was the first Draven in the US by the SS admissions. I absolutely love his name and even to this day receive tons of compliments for originality. I don't believe that his name has anything to do with darkness or anything for that matter.

My son is named Draven and I think it is a fabulous name (one I hope doesn't become too common). I have found the meaning on another website, can't remember which one, as "child of beautiful shadows".

I don't know why but this sounds like the name for a goth person.

This strikes me as one of those names that parents below the age of 25 pick for their son because they think it's edgy and refreshing, and, who knows, some might pick it because they think it's ''sexy'' and youthful. Then, they will regret the choice, as it really does sound like a youthful, made-up name that doesn't age very well.

My son is named Draven. And it suits him. He's a very happy, smiling boy. My husband choose the name from the film " The Crow".

I love The Crow, and I love this name.

Impression: Affectionate and kind at heart, always looking out for others.
