- Lark

English bird nameDescription:

- Linnet

"flaxen haired"Description:

- Phoenix
Origin:
Arizona place-name and GreekMeaning:
"dark red"Description:
Effortlessly cool with a hint of the mystical, Phoenix rolls a lot of trends into one: it's a place-name and a bird name, it ends in the stylish letter x, it's got in-built nicknames, and it's unisex too. Familiar but not over-popular, Phoenix ranks in the US and UK Top 1000s.
