[Opinions] Re: Ramona, Raven, Regina
in reply to a message by Billina
I'm def going to go with Raven. Because inside me there is a late 80s teen goth girl who has always loved it. I'd love to be named Raven. And anyway I first saw it on a soap opera character ffs, so how dark can it be really.
It kills me that so many people seem to think Wren and Ivy and Ember and Luna and Lyric and Autumn and Rain and Willow and Winter and Ever and Poppy and Briar etc etc are cool, but then they say 'ew, Raven? that's a trendy gothy name!' haha... they're all trendy gothy names - you've just seen one of them on real people who grew up, so you can't pretend it's storybook perfect anymore.
Regina is too title-like for my taste. I like Gina, but not the Reg- part of Regina.
Ramona I like okay, but for some unknown reason I have an image associated with it, of a loud and sensuous woman. Cool name but I'd never feel like I wanted to use it for a kid.
