What does ravinholm mean?

[DieHard]

I think somthing like Raven's nest or somthing near that

 

[RaBiD WeAzEL]

The verb raven means to devour greedily,despoil,prowl for food, etc. Ravening is what zombies do. Guess what is in Ravenholm?

Holm is a small inshore island or inland. This would most likely be refering to the fact that revenholm was/is secluded from the rest of city17.

Put the two together. There you go.

(A zombie infested inland secluded.)

thats pretty cool that there really is some meaning in the name, i would of never thought that to even look it up, that is unless u just knew what raven and holm ment ehe

 

[Cypher19]

I didn't even know holm was a word!

 

[Shodan]

Haven't you heard of Stockholm?

Its just a name.

 

[Foebane]

Haven't you heard of Stockholm?

Its just a name.

Err, no, I think Stockholm is one word. Otherwise, people would refer to the Swedish capital as a shop's supply on an island.

Shodan, what does your sig look like on a PC that doesn't have Japanese installed? I bet it looks like crap.

Ravenholm is one word aswell!

You can just see it in the bottom of this screenshot.

A PC that doesn't have japanese? I bet I don't care.

Edits: I can't believe I have to change my sig because your PCs suck it.

More Edit: Done.

I always thought Ravenholm was just a cool name they thought up out of thin air. Or some other correct form of the saying.

And shodan's sig looks like a bunch of boxes. And yet, I too do no care.

I always thought that Ravenholm means a secluded small village where birds that inhabit it are only crows. And indeed, there are a lot of crows since the beginning... But there are way more zombies so "Zombie infested secluded village" sounds better...

 

[Asknoone]

I always thought of Ravenholm as...a name.

 

[Genesis]

It's synomynous with "grab a big ass saw blade and chuck it" :E

 

[AJ Rimmer]

I also thought of Ravenholm as a freaky name: Raven = A bird associated with scary things. Holm = The end of a city name.
The result: A scary city name!

 

[xzeox]

I thought it was just some random name that valve made up.

 

[AudioStar]

Sweet. Didn't know. Btw, AJ Rimmer is funny.

Funny as hell.
