  10. Phoenix from Harry Potter on Phoenix To Change Name · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I like the name 'phoenix' because it is reborn from a bigger, older, mozilla.

    What is the name of the phoenix in Harry Potter (2).
    Some quizmaster must have been wondering the same. ;-) [http://uk.geocities.com/pottermovie/quizjava.htm]

    What is the name of Dumbledores Phoenix?

    1. Firebolt
    2. Flamer
    3. Fawkes
    4. Fizz

    Fawkes is the right answer, is that a good name for a lightweight webbrowser?

    Another suggestion:

    -Huma-
    Huma means "phoenix" in Persian. It was a name that Baba used as a pen name. Whenever he wrote a poem he used this name. In both Persian and Egyptian mythology the story of the phoenix is similar. A phoenix is a bird that consumes itself by fire and is reborn from its ashes. It is also a merciful bird.

    A Phoenix is like a bird with red and gold feathers and known to have a beautiful song. A Phoenix life span varies from different versions, 500 years, 540 years, 1000 years, 1461 years and even 12,9994 years. The Phoenix builds a nest and sets itself on fire and a new Phoenix springs from the pyre. In ancient Egypt the Phoenix represented the sun and in Greek Mythology it presents the early morning. Early Christian custom adopted the Phoenix as a symbol of immortality and resurrection and modern folklore uses the Phoenix as a sign of rebirth, renewal, and starting one more. There only exists one Phoenix at a time. One potential explanation for the Phoenix legend is that some large birds spread their wings over fires so that the smoke exterminates vermin.
