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

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

Thoughts?

I know two boys both called Phoenix so associate it with being a 'boys' name

Do you mind me asking if you have shortened it to any nicknames?

We call her 'Phoe/Fee' for short

Cool name but too out there for my tastes. Middle name? I think spice girl Mel B has a daughter cake Phoenix? I think of it as a celebrity child name like Apple, Seven or Blue.

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)

yep, the only one i know of is non-binary and has changed their name to Phoenix.
