Long post about my name!
That's really neat! Always fun to find important resonances with a name you're choosing.
When I was choosing mine, I looked in a broad list of 'non-binary' names, and was skimming in the E section. I'd already been going by "Em" as a shortened furry nickname, so I was looking for anything else that shortened to the same. Also around the same time, I had started identifying with/as a phoenix.
Then I saw "Ember". And I knew that was it. :-)

@Alistor (As a bonus, I've had a long history of naming characters with what are usually verbs or nouns, so it privately amuses me that I chose one for my human self too. :-P )
