    I was wondering if the name Corvinus can be used as a first name.

    My real name is Raven, and would like to use it's most ancient form.


    My apologies if this is in the wrong section. I have not become accustomed to the forum yet.

    It might be a mouthful. Even if it is not "proper," Corvus might sound better. That said, are you sure you want to change it?

    Also, are you sure you want to do a bit of etymological revisionism on your name?

    Yes I am sure.

    I would like to use the name Corvinus Angelis, names from two different backgrounds I am aware.

    Whether I will use it as only a stage name and Internet moniker, or a name in the real world, I have yet to decide.

    As silly or cumbersome as it may sound to others, it will be my name and therefore I do not care what others think of it.

    I was only asking whether the name Corvinus can be a first name. I have done research and it seems to be used as a last name only.

    Thank you for answering

    Sounds awesome as a surname, but it's too awkward as a first name.

    Raven Corvinus? :slight_smile:

    Mnn, no not to my liking.


    I have decided to use it anyways. You may call me Corvin for short if you wish ^_-

    Thanks all for your responses.
