Originally, Scott Levy (Raven) intended on being called "Ravin'", which was a hardcore raver gimmick as the music genre was highly popular at the time in the mid-90's, but an excited Paul Heyman interrupted Levy after he pitched the name first, and assumed Levy was referencing "Raven" as in Edgar Allan Poe's poem and Heyman proceeded to describe the Raven gimmick we know now.
Levy, who really needed a job at the time after leaving the WWF, decided to just go with it and not risk losing the job opportunity by correcting Heyman.
Scotty 2 Hotty.
