Ravyn

My husband wants to name our little girl Ravyn.  I think of black lipstick when I think of that name.  What do you ladies think?

I like names like Katie, or Elyanna.

    It makes me think of a goth girl for some reason. ;)

    Raven is NMS, but Ravyn is just terrible.

    If you're going to do a word name, just own it and spell it Raven....the Y is unnecessary. (but even then I wouldn't use it as a first name....Raven as a middle name would work) Where did he get this from?

    A friend of mine has a dog, German Sheperd mix I believe, and her name is Raven. She is aggresive.

    Glad to think I'm not the only one that thinks its terrible. 

    He likes unique names... for instance I want to name our son (if its a boy) Greyson, and he wants the middle name to be Wolfe.

    Can you imagine the arguments we have over names? hahaha

    Is it pronounced Rav-in or Ray-vin (like the bird)? Ravyn looks like Rav-in to me. I'd prefer it spelled Raven if you are going to use it.

    Not planning on using it, but I prefer the correct spelling too.  And it would be like the bird.

    I dislike Raven. I absolutely DESPISE Ravyn. Awful, awful, terrible. Katie is cute. I don't even know how to begin to pronounce Elaynna (How about Alayna?).

    Like Eliana? Or Elianna? The Y made me imagine it very differently.

    Yes, the y threw me for a loop too. I knew a little girl my sil used to keep who was Eliana and she was adorable.

    Ravyn is AWFUL. So is Elyanna.

    Raven is nms but I would accept it as a name. Why the 'y' in Raven? Unnecessary and looks completely uneducated.

    Elyanna also looks uneducated. Why the 'y'? Also, why the double 'n'? The double 'n' makes it look like the end should be pronounced like Anna, which is not nearly as pretty as the el-ee-ah-na pronunciation that you get with one 'n'. Eliana is beautiful.

    Katie sounds too young for a full formal name. It would be cute as a kid, not so much as a professional adult. What about Kate, Katherine, Kaitlyn...?

    Spelled correctly, my vote is for Eliana

    Good God, NO to Ravyn. Raven is NMS, but okay.

    I would never pronouce Elyanna as Eliana. I would have thought it was some sort of cre8tive spelling of Elena or El-YAH-nah.

    So...I think your best bet is Katherine, nn Katie.
