Raven

Derived from the Old English hræfn, designating the large black bird associated in folklore with omens and cunning. As a given name, it sat quietly in the American record from the 1920s before gaining real momentum in the late 1970s. By the 1990s, nature-word naming and pop culture gave it a permanent spot in the nursery.

The name carries an immediate halo of dark eyeliner, Doc Martens, and nineties syndicated television. It suggests someone whose middle school notebook margins were thoroughly covered in ballpoint ink. With an average bearer age around twenty-five, it is split evenly between younger Millennials and Gen Z. It sounds like a character who owns a pet reptile or knows how to fix a motorcycle.
