There have been negative and positive views on this name. Most say it is Gothic. I on the other hand really like it. I love the meaning and the sound of the name. I have this name down to be used in one of my novels I haven't written yet.

  1. I haven't been checking my comments lately but I finally saw this and was finally able to reply, sorry. I think it is cool your name is Drayven! A lady my mother used to know her grandson is named Draven so besides them you are the only one I have heard of named this! I've always liked the name and have used it in one of my novels before! Thanks for commenting!
