I'm stunned no one mentioned Odin's ravens!
Seriously though, how about Amontillado?
My last Raven Familiar had a cockney accent and kept calling me "Boss" or "Guv", so how about Dodger?

In that case, I'd better mention them too. Odin had ravens! But I can't remember their names. ;)

So that I can get upset when an enemy manages to take him down.

Revolt on Antares was the minigame wasn't it? That was the one, yeah

On the topic of silly names:

Heckle or Jeckle. If you don't remember them, look them up. Actually they're crows, not ravens, but it can be difficult to tell the difference from a distance.
I was thinking Lenore as well, but Vod Canockers beat me to it.
Don't recall seeing Craven on the rather lengthy collection of lists, so I'm throwing it out there. It sounds appropriate for a small, fragile, easily smashed-into-a-pulp creature.
And finally, how about
Raven Lunatic

Two I am surprised not to have seen yet:
Morrighan - Celtic Goddess of the underworld who would collect the souls of great heroes personally in the form of a Raven (Also IS your Raven male of female?)
Roac - the wise old Raven in the Hobbit.
Carc - his dad.

How about Rantinin Raven?
I believe 'Branwen' means 'white raven', with 'Bran' meaning 'raven', in Welsh or Celtic or some other language from that family.
A white raven would be cool, but even more likely to get shot with arrows...

IRL I had a cockatoo named Fogel. We lived in Germany at the time. Fogel is German for bird. SO when we would tell our german friends in German it was "My bird's name is 'Bird.'"
Anything norse or how about Caleb
