[Opinions] Rhaevyn?
Just came across the name Rhaevyn. What do you think?An unusual spelling of Raven or do you think it's pronounced ray-VIN?

Looks like a long-lost Targaryen.A spelling like that only belongs in the world of "Game of Thrones," imo.

My first thought exactly.

I think it's probably Raven. I...kind of like it. *dodges tomatoes*

I would assume it was a kre8tyv spelling of Raven. Me no gusta. Looks like something I could use for a stupid Sims family.

It's probably supposed to be a "uneek" spelling of Raven. I think Rhaevyn looks hideous, though.

I'd assume it's a strange spelling of Raven. I actually like the look of it (mostly the "Rhae" part), but it seems only suited to a character. It's too hard to spell for real life, and seems like a name someone would use because it's "totally unique because it's Raven but not!" :P(also, it totally looks like a George R. R. Martin name).

I say it's a tryndee spelling of Raven, unfortunately.

For some reason I actually like it. Oh my God what a GP.
But it's way to tryndee for me to ever use.

It's an ugly spelling. Sounds like something a 12-year-old girl would use as her screen name.

However it's pronounced, it's just plain yuck. Worse, actually - it's just fancied-up yuck.

My first thought was Raven, but I don't know. Wow, that's a mess of ugly! I just feel for someone trying to go through life with that spelling.

Looks like a Targaryen.But if you just saw it on a regular kid, it's probably Raven.

"An unusual spelling" !?
I'd say it's an abomination.
It looks ugly and horrid. If they were going for the Raven pronunciation then I think they would get a bit stuck because I would pronounce it RAY-vin. However if they were going for RAY-vin, then... It sounds as ugly as it looks.

How do you pronounce Raven? I have an American accent (from Wyoming) and when I say them, Raven and RAY-vin sound exactly the same.

They sound similar, with my English accent the RAY is still emphasised but the second syllable is more like a cross between vin and van, kind of like vuhn.
