Descriptions:
In French, "cadeau" means "gift." The name acknowledges Dot.ca's Canadian heritage, as well as the fact that we didn't know if Dot.ca would ever stop being aggressive toward Beauty (never mind them actually being a "couple.") This little eyas truly is a gift - against all odds...to Rochester and to falcons everywhere.
Miracle - What started out as a normal breeding season quicklyl changed with B's injury, then Archer's [disappearance] and Unity's death. That DC and B were able to conquer the elements as well as their past and not only look toward the future but produce a namesake is a Miracle.
The phoenix (phenix) has long been presented as a symbol of rebirth, immortality, and renewal. The phoenix is reborn from its ashes. This eyas was born from the ashes of our (Rochester's) last nesting attempts. First Beauty's last year and Unity's this year and possibly Pigotts too for all we know.
Solstice - Since the egg hatched on the Summer Solstice – it’s an appropriate name. related to the natural cycle of life and earth and nature.
Triumph - Merriam-Webster online dictionary defines "triumph" as "the joy or exultation of victory or success "....I think that perfectly describes the feeling at the hatching of the eyas in Rochester this year, after the tragedies that have occurred over the past 2 years.

The top gender-neutral name is Solstice with 30 votes.
Since the male name, Orion, received 36 votes, it will be the name given to the eyas.
