So i was planning on naming my daughter Raven, she's due in September, but i found a really nice unusual name but i don't know what other people would think about it, Shado. What do you think of the name Shado? TIA

What about Seyde ? It's Turkish and it's pronounced Sheyda
Bet that would get pronounced as Sadie...

I read it as Shaado with a long a sound. A bit like the singer Sade.

Raven mad. And Shado - just no OP. Please do a rethink on both.

Raven just makes me think of "That's so Raven!" (Kids TV show)

SkodaKodiaq · 25/05/2021 00:26

Also Raven Octavia is an absolute mouthful!!

"May I take your name please?"
"Shadow without the w..."

"I'm sorry? Could you repeat that please?"

If you like Shado how about Shiloh ?

Raven Octavia flows so much better than Shado Octavia.

@Meganoctavia I think Raven is pretty, I've never heard Shado. Don't listen to these 'too gothic' and 'too extreme', 'please don't do it' comments it's really up to you! Raven Octavia is a very cool name. You sound like a very unique person choose a name that suits you and your family. I also happen to find ravens very beautiful birds xx

At a push I prefer Raven but both are too out there for my personal tastes

aibutohavethisusername · 29/05/2021 00:13

Raven is better.

Hm2020 · 29/05/2021 00:33

Love raven... but no to shadow spelt anyway sounds like a cat name

fluffythedragonslayer · 29/05/2021 07:06

Shadow is growing on me but I'd need the "w".
Raven is nice.

Shadow would need a quirky middle name too. Shadow Mirage Octavia.

Yeah I actually like it 😃

Is this a joke. Why would you do that to your poor child if it's not.

thenonsensepotter · 29/05/2021 08:56

Shadow is a dogs name

Babies aren't toys, or an extension of you, or what you wish you had been.

Please give her a name that won't embarrass her when she's older.
