My ds is called Jenson (which is Scandinavian). My dd is called Roxanna.

We like the name Maximilian and were set on this for baby 3 if a boy.

However, I keep coming back to Axel (also Scandinavian). My husband really likes it too.

Which would you choose?

Mr Rose spells his name as Axl. A small but significant difference. He's really a William!

Oh good lord, they’re both fantastic! I’d only choose Maximilian if I knew I’d be using the whole name - it’s too good to shorten to Max. Axel is very cool. I don’t think of Axel Rose, and neither will his peers. Think I slightly prefer Axel.

I think you should go for Max-Axe
(Just kidding. Of the 2 I prefer Max but that's probably because I know a Max and he is adorable)

I think Maximilian is a bit much for every day use and Max is nice but a bit overused at the moment.

I like Axel. It has an edgy vibe that appeals to me. His little peers will prob think 'oh like the man who draws The Gruffalo'.

Maximilian. Axel makes me think of wheels.

Prefer Max 💯

I prefer Axel, it's a lovely name and makes me think of The Middle, he was one of my favourite characters.
It goes better with your other names.

Axel. There are so many Max's around itl make a nice change. I think it goes better with Jenson too

Love them both anyone who's a guns and Rose's fan is over 40 (like me) his peers at school wont know.

Maximilian is a wonderful name.

Definitely Maximillian. Axel I'd assume you were a huge Axel Rose fan.
