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

Sorry bead think we've gone off it now..

Lucas does sound good with other two Names........ Phoenix Luca sounds nice too..........

Yeah.. There's always Harrison Phoenix but I reeeeally don't want Harrison shortened to Harry

I know 2 Harrisons and they've never been Harrys. It just doesn't seem to happen. I think it's a complete enough name that it doesn't seem to need to be shortened.
There's another thread about Delphine. That would definitely get shortened but Harrison...no.
Much much much prefer it to Phoenix. (which still seems to me very much a girls name)

I would be more willing to use Harrison if I was quite sure it'd stay Harrison..

As said, the two I know haven't been. I don't know, but it just seems like Harry is such a different name it doesn't happen.
My DD has a name that I feared would be shortened to something which I didn't like, but I'm glad to say that as long as you announce it firmly, it doesn't.

I'll have a rethink on that one then, we're pretty sure we'll use it either way, either for first or middle

Oh, please have Lachlan, I really like that idea now!

Agree with (most) of the other posters, your first two boys have lovely normal (not boring) quite simple names, to throw Phoenix in there for the third is odd, the name doesn't match and I would personally think 'try hard' if I heard it in the playground.

IMO these suggestions go better with your other choices...

Leo
Maxwell
Caleb
Samuel (v popular I know but Dylan, Miles and Sam sounds nice together)
Archie
Finley
Isaac (Zac for nn)
Tobias
Evan
Bailey
Reece
Sebastian (Seb is a cool nn)

HTH

Not sure about Lachlan sorry

Isaac, Finley and Bailey are nice although cant use Finley cause that's ds's best friend and Bailey is my nephew..

I agree that Harrison is unlikely to become Harry. If anything, maybe Harris... Or Sonny... Harry feels like a totally different name to me.

Ooh, ooh, ooh- how about Zachary? Zac is fab. Isaac is fab too. Sebastian?

Dylan, Milesand Zac.
Dylan, Miles and Seb.

I know 2 harrisons shortened to Harry, although in one case always intended

Sorry SoupDragon.

Misjudged attempt to lighten things up. Sorry.

I would agree that name -bullying tends to centre around rhyming, poor old Jeremy Hunt style stuff. In my experience anyhow. Or Spoonerisms.

For the record, I'm not personally a huge fan of Phoenix either, I was only wanting to encourage the OP in chosing a name she loves rather than feeling confined to 'normal' ones because she might damage the child in some way.

Harrison I like the most out of all suggestions

I like Phoenix as a name (dont do the other please) and the only one Ive known was lovely so for me it gives memories of a happy chirpy boy

Dylan, Miles and Finbar

Dylan, Miles and Jericho

Dylan, Miles and Jasper

Dylan, Miles and Cammo

Not my fave choces, but I tried to go for slighly unusual, but real, names

Zachary is nice but I know one and wouldn't use it.. Sebastian is a bit long..

Right I will keep thinking. I am determined to name this child.
Dylan, miles and Patrick.
Dylan Miles and Rowan.
Dylan Miles and Rufus

How about Phinneas?

I made some suggestions on the OP's original thread, which was abandoned for some reason.

Dylan, Miles and Jethro
Dylan, Miles and Fintan/Finbar/Finn
Dylan, Miles and Ethan
Dylan, Miles and Emmett
Dylan, Miles and Fergus
Dylan, Miles and Jonah
Dylan, Miles and Hamish
Dylan, Miles and Wyatt
Dylan, Miles and Logan
Dylan, Miles and Asher (funny link to Phoenix is accidental)
Dylan, Miles and Owen
Dylan, Miles and Asa

Not keen but at least if you spelt it Phoenix people will pronounce it correctly. My personal bugbear are parents who use "alternative" spellings for names and berate others when it's not pronounce to their satisfaction. Bloody spell the name properly then! (rant over)

Hey Percy I haven't abandoned the other thread. I just like to get opinions on specific names seperately I do keep checking back in on that one for more suggestions..

Out of the latest suggestions Finn and Ethan are the ones that stand out

There are loads and loads of Ethans, though. And if you live in Kent, they are all called Efan! My ds actually wrote in a card "Happy Birfday, Efan" when he was about 6!
