What comes to mind when you read this name and say it out loud? I have found an issue with it but most of my friends say it isn't noticeable

The fact that a wheel turns an axel (like on a car) came to mind

Sounds like something a mechanic would use to me, sorry

Love the name Axel but not with Turner.

What about Alex/Alexander?

Someone who turns axels for a living?! Axel is pretty ugly IMO and it's also pronounced the same as the German word for armpit...

Alex Turner is the lead in Arctic Monkeys-I like it though. Love the name Alex-it's our nephews or would've been in the running!

I think of some sort of Axl Rose/Alex Turner hybrid

It's like Chris P Bacon or something.

Nope.
