No negative connotation? Did you check your sources?

From http://www.dictionary.com

legend, n.

1. An unverified story handed down from earlier times,
especially one popularly believed to be historical.
2. A body or collection of such stories.
3. A romanticized or popularized myth of modern times.

Somehow, I wouldn't want Firebird to be associated with "unverified" and
"popularized myth".
