We present results for magnetic excitations in doped copper oxides using the random phase approximation and itinerant electrons. In the [1,0] direction the observed excitations resemble dispersive quasi-particles both in the normal and superconducting state similar as in recent resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) experiments. In the [1,1] direction the excitations form, except for the critical region near the antiferromagnetic wave vector ${\bf Q}=(\pi,\pi)$, only very broad continua. Using the obtained spin propagators we calculate electron self-energies and their effects on electronic Raman spectra. We show that the recently observed additional peak at about twice the pair breaking in B$_{1g}$ symmetry below T$_c$ in HgBa$_2$CuO$_{4+\delta}$ can be explained as a self-energy effect where a broken Cooper pair and a magnetic excitation appear as final states. The absence of this peak in B$_{2g}$ symmetry, which probes mainly electrons near the nodal direction, is explained by their small self-energies compared to those in the antinodal direction.
