I'm Raven. Or Corvo, if you're into italian. I think it'd be Ng in chinese. Um, Rafe in German, which is like Raphael, so that's cool. Coirbidh in gaelic.

All means the same, and it all suits me fine. I actually prefer other language's version of the name, because Raven is such a cliche in the pagan community. Though my friends call me Raven. Ravey if they're being affectionate.

Ooh, I'm very much into Italian. Especially Italian guys named Frank. But I have two of them already (Frank and frank) so I guess it's time to throw in a fake Italian guy named Corvo now.
