Hi all , we are having a baby boy due in February and need help fining a name !
Points to consider :

  • we have a girl named Xena and a boy named Jett
  • we prefer rarer names
  • 3/4/5 letters

Some names I like but am not too sure about:

  • Aksel
  • Fox
  • Rex

Any help would be muchly appreciated - thanks

Thank you for all the great suggestions - sorry forgot to say we wouldn’t use a name beginning with j as we already have jett !

We origanally preffered Aksel to Axel as it was less common and we thought Axel seemed a bit odd because we would have his nickname be ax . But after hearing your opinions we know do prefer axel - does anyone have any suggestions on nick names for axel ?

Like the name Zeke not sure how it is pronounced though - zeek / zek / Zak ?

thank you so much for all the suggestions :))))

Unseeliequeen · 19/08/2020 19:36

I don't like any of those names.
Maybe Axel.
Definitely not Fox or Rex. Fox makes a good surname though.
If you like short unusual names how about:
Ace
Zane
Keir
Levi
Cash / Cassius
Nico
Mac
Asa
Jax
Lenny

Jago
Neil
Keir
Keith
Lars

Aksel looks unpleasant but axel is fine.
Fox is fine
Rex I can’t help but associate with a dog.

Roselilly36 · 19/08/2020 17:16

Dexter

MikeUniformMike · 19/08/2020 17:14

Axel not Aksel. - fine
Fox - maybe
Rex - I think this is one of those names that will be far more popular than you think, so although I like it, I say no.
