Honest opinions on Axel?

It was suggested to me on another thread and dp likes it and I think I might. We were thinking Max and I wanted Abel but dp isn't keen and Axel is actually a mix of the two :p

I'm not sure I have the balls to do it though!

Love it! But it sounds silly with DS1's name so out for DC2

I much prefer Abel.

What sort of thing are you after?

Not keen on Saxon, considered Rex and Alex is my name.

DP isn't coming round to Abel :( But I feel like Axel is a bit radical :p

Axel is truly hideous.

How anyone can assign such a brutally ugly name to a gorgeous wee newborn is beyond me.

Max is a bit boring compared to the other two!

Pebbles0934 · 20/06/2014 20:27

And I think Abel is really nice and Abe is a great nn.

Pebbles0934 · 20/06/2014 20:22

I really like it.
Have you considered Saxon?

mamalovesmojitos · 20/06/2014 20:07
