I just love this name!!!!!!!!!!!

Contains the same letters as Verna.

I hate this name. I would never call my child Raven, although I might, on the other hand, call my child Dove, Raven's "opposite name".

Personal experiences with the name Raven

Don't mean to be selfish but Raven has a devilish meaning but also a heavenly meaning. In some countries, Raven means "Devil Bird" But in the Bible, there was a Raven that helped the Dove on Noah's Ark. I like my name. I like it a lot. Ravens' are independent and caring. People judge us by how we look and not how we act. It's not right. The meaning of my name though is different from most : Old German Hraban. She is loyal, honest, independent, has great energy, quick to take up for her own, very loving, wise and caring.
But trust me, it's a really good name. But don't ask me what to name your child. That's up to you.
