Hi saphirdufeu !!!

---

Ravenna is not used at all as given name in Italy. I personally prefer Rowena (f) or Raven (unisex).

---

Kellen seems unusual. I prefer Kellan but also this one is not my style. Kelly (unisex) or Killian (m) are far better.

I like them both. I haven't met one, but I've known a Kelin and a Kelan. Ravenna is also a neighborhood in Seattle.

I have a nephew named Kellan. It's nms but it's not a terrible name.

---

Ravenna is pretty cool. It makes me think of ravish and ravine, though.

Kellan sounds very unisex. I don't tend to like unisex names in general, but I think I do like this one. It sounds really nice.

---

I also think of the city of Ravenna when I hear it (I play Civ V a lot lol). It's a cool historical name that's still easy to spell and very underused. I think it's lovely.

Kellen is interesting. I've also seen it spelled Kellan in print, but I've never met one in real life. I suppose it fits in with Collin & Cullen, but the Kell- part does remind me of Kelly, which I usually think of as feminine.

Ravenna is on my PNL, and has been in my Top 10 before. I love it.

Kellen sounds like "I want to honour a Kelly but it's too boring so I'm going with Kellen". Needless to say, not my cup of tea.
Ravenna, on the other hand, is intriguing and lovely. I love both the "raven" part and the fact it's the name of a city. It sounds like the name of a mysterious widow who is rumoured to have murdered her husband, in the best way possible.

Kellen is okay IRL, I've met a few Kellens and Kellans (mostly boys but also at least one girl) but I think it's terrible for a fantasy character.

I love Ravenna. Idk about city names in Italian but in English I think it's a good name for a person.

I’m not really a fan of Kellen. It just doesn’t interest me. I like Ravenna, but it’s a GP. It’s a neighborhood in Seattle, so that’s what I think of before I think of Italy.
