Lately, I’ve been crushing really hard on the name [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] (as well as a few other names), but only on a boy. I’ve actually met a little boy named [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] once a while back, and he pulled it off quite well! And yet, I’m still worried about it, the name.
What do you think if the name [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] for a boy? What are your honest opinions?
(Also, any suggestions for middle names? That’s another thing I’ve been struggling with about the name.)
I absolutely adore [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]! It’s been a strong favourite for probably half my life, and from the moment I heard it, I knew that’s what I wanted to name a future son (should I have any). Living in the UK, the city association isn’t as strong, but the mythological one is simply amazing! I love a link to mythology anyway, but this one is so great, and the creature is such a brilliant and positive namesake. It’s so magical and whimsical (something I love in a name), but still usable, and I get such clear images from the name. I’m just hoping it doesn’t get too popular for girls, (or boys for that matter :P) but as far as I can tell, most people think it’s unisex or all boy.
[name_f]My[/name_f] combo for [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] is in my signature, and I’ve completely fallen in love with it, especially the [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] part. I also think these sound quite good:
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m]
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] [name_m]Julian[/name_m]
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] [name_m]Timothy[/name_m]
Basically I seem to like [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] with vintage names.
