Crazy name wont get out my head! lol

[Misssweetheart]

Have a lovely 8 month old boy named eric.
Pregnant again hoping for a girl... BUT if its a boy i need an AWESOME name again. And every boy name is not sparking any joy besides ONE...

Pheonix

I KNOW..I KNOW.. Usually id be the FIRST one to be like "oh come on...you cant call a child that"

HOWEVER...Ive become enchanted with the name. Ive even tried considering felix and looking up ALL the names...
Ive even tried sleeping on it... for a MONTH.
And i cant find a name that gives me the same...feeling...as pheonix.

Does anyone have any POSITIVE thoughts on the name? Or advice?

Well you could try spelling correctly for a start
That would be pronounced fee oh nicks and I am assuming that’s not what you are after.
Other than that I’m saying nothing

It's a very different kind of name to Eric.

Not with that spelling surely??

You're not spelling it like that are you?

Well, you need to spell it right, but that apart it’s not a great name to saddle a child with - people will probably make slightly dodgy assumptions about him as they would a girl named something like Crystal.

How about as a middle name?

It's not the worst name I've heard.

But if you use it, do spell it correctly.

It's a very different vibe to Eric, which might raise eyebrows, but if you love it I think it's perfectly fine. There will be kids at school with more unusual names.

Hmmm. Was giving you the benefit of the doubt that you'd made a typo but then you spelt it that way again.

Honestly, it's not a great name anyway, and it certainly doesn't go with Eric. It's as if you have two children by two different fathers from completely different cultural backgrounds.

Even if you spell it right it’s a shocker.

I know one and I can't stand him!! The name sort of sets you up to be
A twat.

Check the spelling. But bird names are getting popular so I don't think it will seem too "crazy"

Not a chance. Especially spelt incorrectly.

I'd go with something easier that you can spell.

Eric and Felix would be fine

Phoenix I think you need to leave that one unused. I really LOVE the name Dmitri but I did not even consider lumbering DS with it. Not even as a middle name

I know a female Phoenix.

It's not the worst or the craziest name I've heard by far but I do think it's a very odd sibling pairing.

We know a family with a plain name DC1 and then a bit of an "out there" #2. Always strikes me that they wanted their #2 to stand out whilst #1 just blends in.

Husband is a teacher and says when they get the list of new pupils joining the school, they can tell who will be trouble - Phoenix would def be on that list.

Mel C’s daughter is called Phoenix.

What about Finn. Sort of has the same sound as the first syllable.

I know a kid Phoenix, it's a beautiful name and really suits him.

Maybe they should try not to have preconceived perceptions in case they become a self-fufilling prophecy.

@Standrewsschool

Mel C’s daughter is called Phoenix.

It's Mel B's I think. Unless they both have used the name.

I think Phoenix and Eric sounds like a cool clothing brand.

I like it.

Felix and Eric are very cool together

Husband is a teacher and says when they get the list of new pupils joining the school, they can tell who will be trouble

Yes, I'm so sure they can magically tell. Perhaps having preconceived notions about a child is the real problem.

It's Mel B's I think. Unless they both have used the name.

You're correct: her daughter's name is Phoenix Chi. (I have no idea why I know that but I do.)

Yes its a major typo haha sos guys.

Phoenix
