I like Korben, but spelt Corbin.
The others have a "made up" feel to them.

Corbin is my personal favorite too and the more I look at it the more I like that spelling :D

I love the traditional spelling of Corbin.

Another vote for Corbin spelled with a c.
Raidin isn't my personal style, and I guess it feels very "made up" to me, like I think Rica said. It feels like the other trendy -ayden/aiden/aden names like Jayden, Cayden, Braeden, Zaiden, etc., and like the word "raiding" without the g. (I also noticed that both this name and your last name end in the same -din sound, so I'd personally go with a different ending sound.)
I thought Corvin was meant to be Corbin, so it seems like Corbin may be a good middle ground for you, keeping the -orbin part of Korbin, but using Corvin's c to reach the authentic Corbin spelling.
Whatever you choose, I wish you the best!
Take care! :-)

Please don't take offense to this, but when I read Raiden I think of Raid - the insect killer. I vote for Corbin. It sounds nice and is handsome.

I understand the love of Raiden. He is the god of thunder and lightening in Japanese also a character in Mortal Kombat (I'm a dork and married a dork). It also reminds of me of the Raiders football team. Ronin is also Japanese and means Samurai without a master, I love Ronin.
I voted for Korben but would urge you (gently of course) to spell it Corbin. I think Corbin is a fantastic name!

I agree with Corbin. I like it much better with a C for a boy.
If I met a Raiden, I would immediately think he was a trouble maker. It's part Raider, part Aiden phenomenon, and part bug spray (sorry).
I am not much of a Corvin fan either. But, I am biased by an association. Good luck!
