I like the name [name_f]Sora[/name_f], but as a combo it would sound like “[name_u]Raven[/name_u] soar,” which seems a bit on-the-nose. And the N- names run together when I say them with Raeven. So I voted for [name_f]Julia[/name_f].

What about Raeven [name_u]Akira[/name_u] or Raeven [name_u]Mika[/name_u]?

I think Julia is the best of your options, though it’s so classic and demure that it’s a bit of an odd match for Raeven to my ear.

I agree that Sora, though pretty and interesting, sounds like a sentence with Raeven: “ravens soar”.

I love Nora and Noé, but I think they run into the final -n of Raeven.

Keiko is gorgeous - possibly my favourite Japanese name - but if you’re after something less unusual then this is definitely not it! Raeven Keiko is extremely out there (some might say overkill) as a combo.

I’d like to put in a vote for another idea: how about Raeven Sakura? Sakura has a similar sound to Sora, but without the “ravens soar” issue; it’s a beautiful Japanese name meaning “cherry blossom” - still very unusual, but doesn’t feel quite as “out there” as Keiko as it has a more conventional (for English speakers) shape and sound.

From your list I would choose Raeven [name_f]Julia[/name_f] but I also like [name_f]Katinka[/name_f]'s suggestion of Raeven [name_f]Sakura[/name_f].

5

I voted Noé, with [name_f]Keiko[/name_f] as a second choice.

6

I voted Raeven [name_f]Julia[/name_f]. I like the flow of it and [name_f]Julia[/name_f] is a very pretty name.

I would suggest Raeven [name_f]Marina[/name_f], as well as being a Japanese name usually written 真里奈, it coincides with the name [name_f]Marina[/name_f] as in the feminine form of Marinus, so it translates quite smoothly between languages.

Raeven [name_f]Julia[/name_f] is a lovely combo! But if your heart is stuck on the Japanese association, then I’ll suggest a few. Good luck!
