Good name , but i dont see how using Firebird is ok when Phoenix was not, an open source project with the same name already exists at http://firebird.sourceforge.net

Phoenix also should be Ok if it is not an "TM", now, trade mark "Fire bird" belongs to Mozilla.org, that's OK I think, same name doesn't mean they could not exist at the same time.

American carnames are good to use!

But u can name the browser like german cars!

BMW, Beetle (=Käfer) or 911 !!! :-(

Firebird ist much better :-)

I supposed it would be Firebird, but hands down I think it's lame. Sorry.

Sorry to prefer birds to metal monsters - the next names will be easier to find.
That is not really a surprise.

Happy that the change did not affect the logos ( great birds of fire ) That counts.

Please do not splash my screen.

Great name!

I like the new name. Especially since Firebird is more or less equivalent to Phoenix, although I wish they could have kept the old one.

And by the way, there was no American car called the Camino. Calling an El Camino a Camino is like calling a Trams Am an Am. And while Ford made the Thunderbird, Pontiac made the Firebird.

Thunderbird is a shock to me, since at our high school we call ourselves T-Birds (thunderbirds)

I've started thinking of PG tips now

Supposing Firebird gets itself a talking AI, whaddaya gonna call it then?

I think I'm going to start calling the browser "f-body."

Cars... One is OK ..More is ugh. Specific manufactures? Who cares? Still cars.

Birds...however..why not?
