What comes to mind when you read this name and say it out loud? I have found an issue with it but most of my friends say it isn't noticeable

The fact that a wheel turns an axel (like on a car) came to mind

Sounds like something a mechanic would use to me, sorry

Turning axles on a car.

How about Alex? Same letters in a different order!

kelda · 11/02/2016 21:09

Love the name Axel but not with Turner.

What about Alex/Alexander?

kelda · 11/02/2016 21:10

Cross post!

ForeverLivingMyArse · 11/02/2016 21:11

I love the name Axel but not with that surname!

Only1scoop · 11/02/2016 21:11

A kwik fit fitter?

LineyReborn · 11/02/2016 21:11

Yeah, lathe turner. Wheeltappers and shunters.

BikeRunSki · 11/02/2016 21:16

How about Alec Turner?

mrsschu · 11/02/2016 21:33

Someone who turns axels for a living?! Axel is pretty ugly IMO and it's also pronounced the same as the German word for armpit...

IoraRua · 11/02/2016 21:49

Eesh, no. It sounds like a joke name.

Alex Turner is the lead in Arctic Monkeys-I like it though. Love the name Alex-it's our nephews or would've been in the running!

Ellarose85 · 15/02/2016 13:14

I think of some sort of Axl Rose/Alex Turner hybrid

UterusUterusGhali · 15/02/2016 14:59

It's like Chris P Bacon or something.

Nope.
