I love this name for a boy or a girl! It goes more on the girl's side for me, but I would love to meet a boy named Raven. It sounds mature and mysterious - kind of ominous. The associations aren't good, I'm afraid.
Ravens are a symbol of death. The Edgar Allan Poe poem titled 'The Raven' shows a prime example of that. Raven Eleanor as a combo does sound pretty, but its also a creepy coincidence. In 'The Raven', Poe mentions a lost lover named Lenore. Close to Eleanor, I think.

But I'm not advising against the combo, that's just my input.

For girls: Raven Cassandra, Raven Maria, Melanie Raven, Cecilia Raven, Raven Ophelia
Unisex, but more on the girl's side: Cassidy Raven, Winter Raven, Cleo Raven, Raven Tamsin
For Boys: Carlos Raven, Raven Sebastian, Raven Ramon, Raven Orlando, Michelangelo Raven, Damascus Raven

I can't deny that it sounds very gothic. Raven the Teen Titan might've influenced my view of it being gothic and better on girls. I think Robin sounds more unisex than Raven, but maybe I'm just weird. :p
