Finally feeling brave enough to post in this section, I know opinions can be brutal here Grin

DS2 is due in 9 weeks and we're debating between Axel and Kasper.

Our family is half Norwegian and our eldest two have Norwegian names.

Which do you prefer?

I'm totally torn. I had my heart set on Kasper since I was pregnant with my daughter but recently heard Axel and thought it sounded awesome!

Kasper is awesome.

I don’t like Axel at all. It’s harsh-sounding and it reminds me of a car part.

LadyGAgain · 16/12/2017 22:47

They're both awesome! At a push I'd go for Kasper but I love them both. Congratulations on your imminent arrival!

Kasper 100 x over, lovely name! Axel makes me think of Rose which is cool but uncool of you know what I mean Grin

BikeRunSki · 16/12/2017 23:22

Axel has long been one of my favourite names

Terri26 · 16/12/2017 23:55

I'm assuming they are both 'real' names but Axel sounds make e up e to me. I'd go with Kasper

BikeRunSki · 17/12/2017 07:39

Both are real names, and not really that unusual!

LarkDescending · 17/12/2017 07:42

Kasper by miles. So handsome!

Kasper

ChocolateCrunch · 17/12/2017 07:51

Kasper, but I do like Axel too!

Axel

I feel like Casper the friendly ghost would go through his teenage rebellion emo phase and rebrand as kasper

Plus it autocorrects to jasper....

TaggieRR · 17/12/2017 08:05

Kasper.

Jasper

Intercom · 17/12/2017 08:25

I meant Kasper!

Autocorrect 🙄
