I know a 6 year old girl named Haven. She's super cute and smart, but a bit sassy. I like the name well enough, but it's not something I'd use.

Her twin is named Darby.

Hmmm I didn't think I would like it, but I do. I wouldn't use it though.

Makes me think of havering... I don't like it.

[rubytitania.livejournal.com]

I don't like it much.

I know a 3 year old boy named Havan. It suits him I think, I like the name, not sure I'd use it though.

I think it sounds a bit dry, but I love the meaning.
In psychodinamic psychology (Freud and friends) anything that is large, round and receiving and sheltering (like a haven) represents the feminine principle, as opposed to spiky, oblongue items that represents the masculine principle. The anatomic analogy is quite straight-forward, I think. So it embraces femininity as I conceptualize it, from my heterosexual point of view, at least.

Oh god, I love Haven. It's one of my favorite names ever. I want to use it so bad, but it'd be way hard for my in-laws to pronounce.

Icky! It's like a bad amalgam of heaven and raven, neither of which are good names.

My friend's grandpa's name was Haven, so I guess it feels more masculine to me personally.

I think it's a nice middle name.

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

I don-t know, I am not liking it for some reason.

It's alright, but...not on a girl. =/

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

i've actually only ever heard it on girls, but i know it's a unisex name.

[frost.livejournal.com]

It's alright...but not for a girl. =/

(sorry if this appears twice, apparently my other comment didn't go through...)

[laminy.livejournal.com]

It's not much of a name for anybody.

[makeitstopjamie.livejournal.com]

I quite like it for a girl and I'm thinking about using it for a character.

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

I'm on the fence on this one.

[hwar.livejournal.com]

It's really not my style.

[itspixiedust.livejournal.com]

One of my close friends is named Haven...it really fits her.

Rather too twee for my tastes.
