The title character of Cathy Cassidy's 'Forever Phoenix', the new book (fourth and final) in her Lost & Found series. Phoenix is a girl, and suits her name very well!

Why hasn't anyone mentioned this yet? In Homer's Iliad, Phoenix is the old, wise tutor of the hero Achilles. He makes a long speech in the Iliad, trying to convince Achilles to rejoin the battle.
Phoenix is the name of the comic book character Jean Gray's (X-men) alter personality. Phoenix is the "bad" side of her but I don't think of this an evil name so don't let that stop you from using it. I like still this name.
As already mentioned, famous bearers of this name are the members of the actor-family 'Phoenix'. River Jude "Rio" Phoenix (r.i.p.), Rain Joan of Arc "Rainbow" Phoenix, Joaquin Rafael "Leaf" Phoenix, Libertad Mariposa "Liberty Butterfly" Phoenix and Summer Joy "Sum Sum" Phoenix are the children of John and Arlyn "Heart" Phoenix. John and Heart's original surnames where different, but they changed it to "Phoenix" in order to celebrate their departure of Central and South America - and a fresh/second start in the USA after years of traveling around.
