I really like Axl (spelt that way, for some reason)
Honest opinions?
I'm not sure I can imagine calling a baby Axl but I do love it, especially with our surname as it sounds very rock and roll.

Be kind but honest :p
If we have a girl she will be Tabitha.

I know an axel, and it always strikes me as not fitting him somehow. I was also mega curious about meeting his parents, who were just ordinary middle aged / middle class people.... I don't know.... It didn't fit somehow!

Sorry about double postBlush

You'd have to go with Axel.

I love it, was vetoed by my husband so none of my boys have it but I still think it's a great name!

Not keen, sorry.

I hope for your baby's sake it's a girl!

Hmm it's not to my taste. The 'oral sex' thing always goes through my head when I hear it. It's got quite a hard, VERY masculine sound, and I suppose it might just not suit every wee boy.

I prefer the spelling Axel (Axl Rose spelled Axl that way to make an anagram of 'oral sex')
