Is this a boy or girl name?

Mrs.Keith2B

Phoenix

 I've read it can be used for either, but which gender do you think of when you hear it? I'm thinking of it for a boy name, but I just saw a girl on TV with that name...

maltwin1

I've seen it for both, but I think it seems more girl to me.

katie9136

Boy. But a lesbian friend of mine named her daughter that... and it was appropriate. lol

courtneyandandrew

I would also say boy...

EXL311

boy

LittleMamaB

I'm not a fan of city names at all really, but I would say boy.

ErinInVA

It is NMS, but I think boy.

boy

elspethcordelia

A city.

shanBmcg

I think boy first but can see how people would also choose it for a girl's name.

FutureMrs.Steen

It's a city name so it's not just girl or boy. I don't care for it.?

Boy

The first thing I associate it with is Phoenix River, who was very much a boy. I have never met a girl named Phoenix, so until I do it will always be a (very bad) boys name in my mind.

mrsekins

Boy.

His name is River Phoenix.

And since I've never seen or heard of this as a first name I guess I would go w/ either boy or girl.

SweetSpikette

I think boy.

And, wtf?  to this:

Either but I think more boys will carry the name than girls.

Mrs.EmmaLouise

I think boy.... or stripper.

runnergirl79

I would think boy, although it is def. nms.

mrsn1025

i think boy - but not a fan of androgynous names.

EmmaRain

Sorry, I don't think of either. To me, a phoenix will always be a mythical bird. The same one the Atari game "phoenix" and the city in Arizona were named after. I don't think it sounds right for a name. I guess boy if I had to pick one.

Haha... yes.

Mama Angelina

I think it's slightly more of a boy name, but could def go either way.

mybobble

I used to know a girl named Phoenix. She was beautiful. So when I hear that name I think of a girl.

sunnyday016

I think of the mythical bird that bursts into flames. But I guess boy.

It seems more boy to me.
