[Opinions] Phoenix on a girl?
I heard this name and I can't get it out of my head. I hate it on a boy, but on a girl I starting to love it WDYT.

I love the myth and like it for a name, but I think I'd have a hard time using as a fn. Maybe a mn. I'd be happy to meet a Phoenix, girl or boy. I like it best for a girl with the nn Nixie or Nyx.

Not really a fan of the name on either a boy or a girl.

I love Pheonix for a boy, but could never use it (its a guilty pleasure). It sounds masculine to me because its similar to Felix in sound.

I've always loved this name for a girl. When I was smaller, I went through a phase during which I wanted to be named Phoenix so much I even started telling people my name was Phoenix, haha.

I love this for a girl. I think its got a pretty sound to it, and also represents strength (the mythical bird being reborn from the ashes) Strong and feminie at the same time! good choice...

Guilty pleasure name for meAnd I actually like it on both a boy and a girl. I don't think it's cruel on a boy at all. I have no preference for this one- I think it's about the only name I like on both.

sorry ...but I knew this kid that was named this. He's been teased and bullied by boys that think this name is "frilly", because of this he's shy and scared all the time. I've stood up for him a couple of times but I'm no match for the kids that are beating him up. I also remember a quote from previous thread that the mom name her boy Phoenix Ezekiel and when asked about it said quote "it's character building" I don't remeber the thread name but it was about a month ago.

I don't like this name for a girl or for a boy. It has a wonderful connotation, but to me, it doesn't have a very pretty sound at all.
