Nickname why did you pick that? [I Question]

My name is a combination of my first name and a symbol of my life. The Phoenix stands not only in Greek mythology but in that of many peoples for a new beginning after a big defeat. Common to all descriptions are the powers of mythological birds associated with resurrection, mercy, immortality, virtue, freedom, self-knowledge, truth, power, knowledge of death and eternal life. Whereby I refer here only the attribute freedom in the sense of freedom-loving on me and the fact that I suffered large defeats and/or dangerous situations in my life which I survived against all prognoses.
