Due baby girl soon, love the name Phoenix. Possibly Nixie for short.

Appreciate it isn't 'traditional' but I love more unusual names.

Thoughts?

It's a popular name and not as unusual you think. That said it's your child an you get to pick the name

I know a couple of kids called Phoenix.
They are both non-binary/transgender and have changed their names and chosen Phoenix as their new name.

I do like the sound of it, but I think I would assume the child was male? (which I appreciate is ironic given my first comment)

Don't love it I'm afraid. A little too hippie for my taste

In order:
Phoenix, Arizona (hotter than hell)
Phoenix aka Jean Grey from.XMen (ender of worlds)
Phoenix from Gladiators
Fawkes the Phoenix from Harry Potter.
