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?

Kasper

Kasper . Although if you watch The Middle, the eldest son on there is Axel and he’s a lovely character.

Kasper

Movablefeast · 18/12/2017 14:19

Axel is s dynamic name and noone of this baby's generation will have a clue who Axel Rose is!

The OP has a legitimate reason to use it so I would - way more fun than Kasper.

Axel.

Potteryprincess30 · 18/12/2017 15:33

I really like them both, I reckon by the time 9 weeks is up you'll have gone off one on them for some reason or another so really good to have two you like.

They are really unusual boys names and I think they would suit any little boy through to manhood

Bluerose27 · 18/12/2017 15:39

Axel. Do they both suit your surname?

helpmum2003 · 18/12/2017 15:41

Kasper.
Have you checked initials?

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 18/12/2017 15:43

Axel as I know a really kind & lovely Axel. And it's uncommon in the UK.
Kasper/Casper although a nice name is getting quite common (as in usual.)

DreamGhost · 18/12/2017 17:49

We haven't decided on the surname yet, not sure if mine or partner's sounds better. Initials will either be

AIW/AIM

or

KAW/KAM

Kasper

ApocalypseNowt · 18/12/2017 17:52

Axl!

PinkAvocado · 18/12/2017 17:55

Kasper is lovely. Axel/Axl I don’t like and think it’s because I already associate it with a thing (car part) rather than a name.

Misspilly88 · 18/12/2017 18:04

Kasper. Axel sounds like you are trying to give him a super cool trendy name. Which is fine if you are!

Joeybee · 19/12/2017 09:02

Kasper

RestingGrinchFace · 19/12/2017 09:04

Jasper

demirose87 · 19/12/2017 11:01

I love Kasper. I wanted to call my youngest DS this but my partner didn't like it because of Casper the ghost, but I just really like the name.

Coey2016 · 19/12/2017 18:13

Kasper. Really like it.
