Sorry, but I think it's a harsh sounding name. Kind of jars a bit.

What is axl rose an anagram of?

Heated · 26/04/2008 14:23

Given what axl rose is an anagram for, I hope not

Only because of your heritage can you get away with it.

I don't like it personally, but I think it goes well with your surname

I like it a lot but, following on from Janni's post, I can see where people, being stupid and not thinking, will spell it Alex. No biggie though. It's cool and unusual without being daft.

Looks like an anagram! Is the last name Scandanavian?

LyraSilvertongue · 26/04/2008 13:26

Axl Rose.
Axel is slightly different at least.

Janni · 26/04/2008 13:24

I don't like it as it just makes me think of a toolbox. Would Alex not work for you?

landj · 26/04/2008 13:23

I think of guns and roses. Axel Rose. "Sweet Child o' mine". Quite apt!

Its a good name but I automatically think of Axel Foley(sp?) Beverley Hills Cop.

PuppyDogTails · 26/04/2008 13:15

Good for me

zippitippitoes · 26/04/2008 13:09

i quite like it

collision · 26/04/2008 13:05

Well it is different and wont be too common and the surname is foreign sounding so I approve it!

sounds better than Axel Maynard or Axel Hannaford.....
