  3. When I got pregnant with Phoenix it was totally unexpected! My youngest a baby, Jaxon, was only eight months old. I had been through a lot within the past year. Lots of heartbreak, lots of loss, and lots of sadness. I chose Phoenix, because like the bird, I Rose from my ashes. Phoenix came to me at a time in my life when I was so broken. and I chose Javier as a middle name because that’s his father’s middle name.

  7. Couldn’t agree on a name, dad wanted Phelix, I wanted Dominic. Dad finally said, “what about Phoenix?” I said why not. So after his dad came up with the first name, I demanded his middle name be Cooper.
    I like the name Phoenix not just because you dont hear it too often, but because of the bird. After it dies and “cremated” itself it rises from it’s own ashes and is reborn. My baby will live on forever. Lol

  8. Phoenix is my first born. It was my Auntie Honey that helped come up with his name. Phoenix came early @ 33 weeks and so I didn’t have a name picked out yet. In the hospital my Auntie comes to visit me. She takes one look at him and says to me. He is a Phoenix ! I was going through names but my mind kept going back to Phoenix. I decided upon Phoenix James . It was Phoenix who has helped me become the mother I am today. Phoenix is my Courage.
