What's in a Name?

Rarity and Twilight trotted ahead, in a deep conversation about their plans for the upcoming week. Spike trailed behind, clutching the precious phoenix egg he had rescue from the dragons who wanted to smash it - until he stood up to them, with three of his best and most powerful friends' as backing him up, of course.

Rainbow swooped down, hovering just next to him. "So, when the egg hatches, what are you gonna name it?"

Spike looked down at the egg cradled in his claws. "Well, if it's a boy, I was going to name him Fawkes. If it was a girl, I was going to name her Jean Grey."

"Fawkes? Jean Grey? You've got to be kidding me!"

Spike reconsidered, "Arizona?"

Rainbow Dash snorted, "Seriously? You're gonna name your phoenix Arizona? That's the stupidest name I've ever heard."

Spike thought for a minute. "Pee Wee?"

Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes. "Sure, whatever. It is your phoenix."

Fallout reference?

Fallout 3 specifically. Fawkes is a super mutant companion you get late in the game. Uncle Leo is the other Super Mutant that is friendly but he's a random encounter. Both well spoken and well read in a sense.

Fawkes is also the name of Dumbledore's pet pheonix in Harry Potter.
