Phoenix or Griffin?

[LampLight2016]

Our son has been here a week, but we still can't pick between these 2.

Which one do you prefer?

We have a daughter named Harmony.

We know our liked names aren't to everyone's tastes, but oh well!

Griffin, congrats OP 💐

Griffin makes me think of the BNP guy, so far that alone I'd opt for Phoenix.

Griffin is lovely, and goes well with harmony

Griffin

phoenix, hands down winner

I know a Gryffith and prefer that. But love Griff as an abbreviation either way.

I have a Griff (shortened version of his very Welsh name) and it's an awesome name. Obviously I'm bias but go for Griffin/Griff.

Phoenix was going to be our youngest sons middle name but we decided on Flynn

I know of a 12 yo girl called Phoenix and she's delightful

To me, Griffin is a boy's name, Phoenix is girl's

FWIW, there have been more boys named Phoenix than girls in all of the last 20 years, according to the ONS data. So it's probably unisex but definitely more commonly used for boys in the UK.

Phoenix out of the two.

As you said OP, they're not to everyone's taste, including mine. However, I would go for Griffin. Griff for short is good.

lights Falcon is an awesome name

Griffin is lovely :)

Falcon? It goes from bad to worse

I teach an absolutely lovely Griffin (not shortened to Griff fwiw) so that's my choice!

Love Griff.

Definitely Griffin. Griff is cute!

Definitely Griffin - its top of the list for my mythical 3rd boy!

Congratulations!

I know a boy called Phoenix (his mum loves River Phoenix) and he's a very cool kid. I think it would work with your DD's name. Congrats.

Phoenix. Griffin makes me think of Nick Griffin.

Love Griffin (people will soon forget Nick Griffin)

Phoenix is a bit much for me.

The only two other griffins I can think of are a I presume banned fascist right wing leader by the name of Nick and an oafish weirdo loveable weirdo from Family Guy by the name of peter. But go ahead with it. Perhaps harmony will prevail.
