I suggest we key off this branch of the thread, include Thor because several want that one. Now start fine tuning and adding additional suggested.

Taking 2 others from my list -- Sierra and Falcon [Thunder is already here] -- and adding them to the list.

I do like Tomahawk also. I almost added Navajo and Jicarilla to my list as well.

Amendment: I would also like to add from another respondent:

TONATIU is the Sun's God of the Aztec civilization.
QUETZAL is a wonderful bird in Mayan zone considered like a God for mayan culture.


Even though I hate Zorro because it does not conjure up an image of a Fox regardless of the translated meaning [I think of the movies and George Hamilton], we should also add that one here.

The following is a comment from Ken Levy elsewhere in this thread [hint]:

>>The application of the mythology of the Phoenix is so compelling how about a bird from another culture but with a similar methology?
>>
>>The Egyptian bird 'Bennu'
>>The Navahoe "Thunderbird"
>>The Arabic 'Roc' (or 'rukh')
>>The Chinese 'Firebird'

>Oooooh, this I like. [Ken's comment]
