Finally feeling brave enough to post in this section, I know opinions can be brutal here Grin

DS2 is due in 9 weeks and we're debating between Axel and Kasper.

Our family is half Norwegian and our eldest two have Norwegian names.

Which do you prefer?

Kasper by miles. So handsome!

Both are real names, and not really that unusual!

I'm assuming they are both 'real' names but Axel sounds make e up e to me. I'd go with Kasper

Axel has long been one of my favourite names

Kasper 100 x over, lovely name! Axel makes me think of Rose which is cool but uncool of you know what I mean Grin

They're both awesome! At a push I'd go for Kasper but I love them both. Congratulations on your imminent arrival!

Kasper is awesome.

I don’t like Axel at all. It’s harsh-sounding and it reminds me of a car part.

I'm totally torn. I had my heart set on Kasper since I was pregnant with my daughter but recently heard Axel and thought it sounded awesome!
