I like it! Don’t agree it sounds harsh at all

Imcrc · 17/07/2021 07:52

I love it!! I wanted to use it if we had a boy

Axel is nice. I knew a girl called Axelle also nice.

@FerretBraces

I really hope there is a very cool 12 year old Axel Bas somewhere out there 😎

And that Skyler was born on the eve of Breaking Bad being released 😁

This made me laugh. I hope so too.

I never mind zombie threads being brought up again. It's a chat forum after all.

FFS, missed the date Grin

Very, very 'middle-aged man' name here in Germany - it would be a bit like calling your child Craig or Bruce - and it does sound exactly like 'armpit' in German. Axel Bas does have a certain ring to it, though.

It's OK. I think of Axel in 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth', which I read when young; also a heavy metal rock star in a kilt and last but not least, motor mechanics!

It is quite unusual for the UK. I don't think I'd choose it but it's up to you.

I think it’s very cool. It reminds me of the programme The Middle which is my mid morning treat when the kids are at school!

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 14/07/2021 23:49

OP how is your Axel finding his name now that he's 13 years old?!

Axle grease.

Sorry.

IggysPop · 14/07/2021 22:42

Love it!

My cousin's kid called Axel is almost 14 now.

My ds has Axel as a middle name and it's very popular

pointydog · 28/04/2008 18:45

guns n roses.

Teutonic sounding (Axel shaeffer)

Does sound like a piece of machinery. Like Cog. Or a skating move, triple toe axel.

However if you are a scandinaviany, teutonicky sort of family it might work perfectly for you.

beforesunrise · 28/04/2008 18:29

eehhrr... your SPROG

beforesunrise · 28/04/2008 18:29

and moreover if you were a real guns n roses fan you'd call your sprong Slash, surely???

beforesunrise · 28/04/2008 18:26

what do you mean Belgo??? G'n'R will rule for ever and ever :-)

belgo · 28/04/2008 13:46

But Guns n Roses haven't been around for years - the AXL Rose reference will mean absolutely nothing to the next generation.

nickytwotimes · 28/04/2008 13:46

Not for me.

katz · 28/04/2008 13:45

not my cup of tea that one
