We considered it for DS but ended up thinking our local school is a bit rough and it'd be a bit hard to carry off.

He'd probably have to spell it out for every form he filled in as mis-spellings are common. Before we considered it I always thought it was Pheonix

Love it.

Flibbertyjibbet · 30/04/2009 23:03

if you want to be 'unique' you could spell it Feenicks?

piscesmoon · 30/04/2009 23:17

NO

DobbyDooDah · 18/05/2009 15:52

this is one of my favourite names for a boy! i love it even if it is a little odd

Nope, you never know where your child would end up in life and whilst phoenix would be just about OK for a Reader in phiilosophy or Spiritual healer, on a building site it would be shit

I have met a Phoenix. Well I've spoken to his mother in the park for 5 minutes. He doesnt look like a Phoenix, although I'm not sure what one should look like (in the kids name sense - I wasnt expecting for him to be a mythical creature!) I think its a bit silly, but not horrendous. I prefer it to Kaylee and stuff like that.

I don't like it, sorry. Think it's a bit try hard, like something a z-list celebrity might pick.

sockmonster · 23/05/2009 19:17

I secretly like it! Doesn't scary spice have a kid named phoenix?
Hmm OK I love it, but I wouldn't burden an innocent child with it.

let them eat cake I and my family love the name for a girl also have you had any probs with it

Bonneville · 03/06/2009 13:50

Its really horrid. Hate stupid names like this. Sorry.

pranma · 03/06/2009 15:20

When there are so many lovely names why saddle a child with a name that so many adults cant spell.There are 2 threads on here about this name one for a dd and one for a ds.Both have spelt it differently in the headings and both spellings are wrong.

mamadiva · 03/06/2009 15:37

Their are 2 brothers at DS' old nursery Phoenix and Nico both are lovely boys.

I think it's cute and I also think it's up to you!
