Alternative for the name Raven (female)?

Ah, I so know that dilemma! Happens to me all the time ;)

Here are some names that give off a similar feel (to me, anyway):

Gwendolyn (Gwen)

Wren

Lilith

Talitha

Jolene

Beatrix

Verena

Alix

Laure (pronounced like the word "lore")

Xanthe

Genova/Nova

Seren

Milena

Here are some names connected to "black", "dark" or "raven" in meaning:

November/Ember

Lenore (ever heard of the poem "the raven" by Edgar Allan Poe? That's where this one came from...)

Darcy/Darcie (means dark)

Kiara/Keira (means dark)

Melantha (means dark flower; pretty legit name for a character, if you ask me :P)

Ebony

Kali (means black)

Blake

Lela (black beauty)

Nerissa (black-haired)

Corvina (means like a raven)

Melaina

Or, if that is not too cheesy, you could pick a name that has Raven as a nickname. That way you can still refer to her as Raven, but if she uses her full name including last name, it won't sound too strange... Here are some names that could have Raven as nickname:

Ravenna (after a place in Italy)

Aravena

maybe even Rowena

Erm, yeah, that wasn't really a lot. Hope this helps anyway, in some way or another... =)
