Thinking about the name
Phoenix
Greek origin
“From the mythical bird that rises from its own ashes, Phoenix symbolizes rebirth, resilience, and transformation. The name gained popularity in the 1990s and 2000s as parents sought gender-neutral names with powerful symbolism. It conveys strength, hope, and the ability to overcome adversity—a name for a child expected to be a survivor and thriver.”
