WDYT of this name? I'm seriously falling for it and been considering it for the past few days. It's mostly used in Scandinavia from what I gather and I actually did meet a Swedish girl named Axelina about 10 years ago maybe.

I'm just not sure what kind of vibes it would give to other people? I love the name Alexandra but it does feel a bit meh sometimes and I think Axelina has a very similar vibe yet slightly different so I'm loving it but still having mini second thoughts.

No...

AragornsManlyStubble · 21/06/2020 22:16

I personally don’t like it, but I don’t see anything necessarily wrong with it as such. Axelle is prettier

Axelina makes me think of something relating to a mechanics workshop.

How about Adelina?

hotstepper4 · 21/06/2020 22:11

I like it! Like Axelle too.

You need to consider that people will shorten it though, to Axe likely? And she'll be constantly correcting people, no not Max, Axe!

You see,someone else on here has already read it as Alexina. That's what'll happen as Alex is common here, Axel (ina) isn't.

Go with some sort of Alex type name -maybe not Alexa though!

Lightofthephoenix · 21/06/2020 22:06

Axelina.....I actually like it

NotNowPlzz · 21/06/2020 22:05

I like Axelle. Axelina is okay to me but I prefer Axelle. The baby names board is notoriously rude. People even mock the names of existing children. I find it such poor taste.

Is this today's Haven? Wink

villainousbroodmare · 21/06/2020 22:03

Sorry, it's a shocker.

Smellbellina · 21/06/2020 22:02

Sounds like a contraceptive pill

Bertucci · 21/06/2020 22:02

Only if you hate your child.

MWNA · 21/06/2020 22:01

Ghastly. Hilariously awful. It's like you're joking or something

Londoner99 · 21/06/2020 21:59

I guess the good thing about this name is that there won't be five Alexinas by the time she reaches nursery. Are there any other names you like?

OneFootintheRave · 21/06/2020 21:58

Axelle? But yes, I immediately thought Guns and Roses.

Moltenpink · 21/06/2020 21:55

Ohhh I like it! Cute.

user1493494961 · 21/06/2020 21:54

Honestly, it's awful.

No need to be rude (some of you). I do appreciate opinions but I'm not here to get mocked over my name choices. And it is an actual name so I didn't just make it up 5 minutes ago.

Honesty will always be appreciated as long as it isn't rude

Terrible

littlequestion · 21/06/2020 21:47

It sounds like an anti-biotic. Sorry.

RedRec · 21/06/2020 21:46

This has to be a wind up.

Harpischord · 21/06/2020 21:45

Ha ha ha ha. No.

Skyliner001 · 21/06/2020 21:44

Terrible

Headperson · 21/06/2020 21:44

If you hate your child but can't be arsed spending your whole life torturing her then this is an excellent alternative.

GertiMJN · 21/06/2020 21:43

To my non-scandanavian ear it sounds like an attempt to 'feminise' Axel and immediately thought of guns and Roses like pp

LightDrizzle · 21/06/2020 21:41

Sounds like something a car mechanic might have to hand in a big tin.
