Fenix/Phoenix ?

[DairyNips]

Ok so we are struggling for a name for ds3.

We have a Dylan and a Miles already.

Quite liking Fenix/Phoenix, opinions please

It's a bit 'trying too hard for me.' That's a personal thing though.

BUT I think it does go with your other boys names.

Definitely spelt Phoenix.

Or Felix?

Thanks. I think I prefer the Phoenix spelling but dh unsure. Don't really like felix cause it reminds me of a cats name

Phoenix spelling definitely. I actually really like Felix (may add it to own imaginary baby list).

I have an aversion to buggering up perfectly good spellings.

Fenix sounds like a medical brand name.

I love Felix

Phoenix. I know one, his brothers are Beck and Herbie. I prefer their names and I think Beck is a fab name. Any good to you?

I know a Dylan who has a brother Harrison. How about that? Bit of a musical theme: Dylan, Miles and Harrison.

Love Beck but ds1's friend at nursery is called that!

We are using Harrison as the middle name, don't want it shortened to Harry, hence not using it for the first name

Beck was on my list with ds1! Still love it.

Dairy What happened to Jude?!?!?

Phoenix is awful. But Fenix.....words fail me.

Jude is pretty cool too (I have one!)

I remember OP posting before about Bertie, is that off the list too?

I've suggested Jude, but DH said no

If I saw 'Fenix', I would think it was pron. like 'Fenwicks' the shop.

How about Anton? Just think it sounds good with Miles!

Gone off Jude, it's really cool but just doesn't seem right anymore..

Bertie got laughed at by mil

I think I prefer 'Phoenix' to Fenix..

I see what you mean about pron it 'Fenwicks', don't want that to happen!

I know I always say this. But just for a minute imagine yourself as a short, shy, self conscious 11 year old introducing yourself to your new year 7 peer group as Phoenix.

And then think again. Jude is good. Kier goes well with your other two. Harry if you're choosing Phoenix because you're a HP fan.

Hmm... Fenix just makes me think Gears of War
The main character is called Marcus Fenix.

Seeker, she won't do Harrison because of Harry.

Kier is great.

Arlo for the musical thng?
NOT Fenix. It sounds like Fenwicks and it looks like a vitamin syrup. Or a fertiliser for pot plants. And is not a proper spelling.
And most important advice - do not discuss with MIL or any other relatives in advance.

There are 2 boys called Phoenix at Toddler group my son goes to. Who would have thought it possible?

Seeker, Thats quite a negative scenario to imagine. I'm more of an optimistic person, Phoenix is a cool name imo and I'm guessing by that age my ds would be pretty used to introducing himself

I hate HP so that is totally not the reason I like it! Harry just reminds me of prince Harry do total no no. We are probably gonna use Harrison as his middle name though.

Not sure I like Kier, sounds a bit like beer... Or ear

I don't know what the musical link is with Arlo? Not heard it before..

Phoenix isn't great but Fenix is just dreadful.

I fear that Phoenix is a name lacking in class.
