[and we could still pronounce it Phoenix]
I do believe having a name that could be a pun or an acronym or something totally meaningless is pretty cool.
I'm liking this one, too. On the drive to work before I saw the suggestion of Phox, I was pondering why everyone was suggesting lizard names, since the phoenix was a bird. I think that the Ph- prefix is important to maintaining the mental link back to Phoenix, and picking a word that starts with F- and replacing Ph- would get around the "too common word" problem.
Then I log on to the forum and see Phox. Seems to accomplish my thoughts quite well.
How about we consider this thread as having been meant just for discussing the name Arias, as I think Blake originally intended, and keep the bulk of name sugesting to the other thread. That's the only logical difference I see. Maybe a moderator should lock this thread... People are starting to post the same thing in each, to make sure people read it.

yes. plz, someone (asa, kerz, blake?) make this distiction by posting or locking, because i doubt anyone will pay attention unfortunately. there is a thread specifically for suggesting new names and talking about them, and this one isn't it.

Sorry.
I posted my comments/suggestions about new names here first, then saw that this was the wrong topic (and it became unsticky, too). So I reposted in the correct topic.
I think Arias is a good new name for Phoenix; however, if you do not want an allusion to the Opera browser, do consider <b>Ariasay </b>. The original lizard Blake mentioned is called Sphaerodactylus <b>ariasae</b> . Can you say Ariasay?

How about Jackalope
