Just looking for some opinions please....

I love the name Raven for a girl, but would you find this strange for a pale skinned girl with blonde hair?

Not guaranteed to be blonde but both DP and I had bright blonde hair when we were little, as do most of our family. I guess it could be mousey brown as well, but there’s no chance it’d be black so any opinions would be appreciated Grin

It’s a bit try-hard cool, isn’t it? I mean great for a cute little girl, and okay if she becomes a willowy interesting teen, But what about the other 4/5 of her life when she’s a slightly dumpy accountant?

Watch our Yorkshire farm, they have a girl called raven (one of nine) and she is now off to uni. she is pale but has ginger hair. I think raven would be adorable for a blonde though.

I assess names on the basis of what the nick name will inevitably be and whether I could live with it. Raven - Rave. Nope.

I can't work out what is adorable or cute about the name of a bird associated with death and doom!

How about Albatross - nickname Alba. Ideal for a blonde girl.

(No, of course I'm not serious 😂😂)

I think it's quite a harsh sounding name. I don't like it sorry
