Axelina

WDYT of this name? I'm seriously falling for it and been considering it for the past few days. It's mostly used in Scandinavia from what I gather and I actually did meet a Swedish girl named Axelina about 10 years ago maybe.

I'm just not sure what kind of vibes it would give to other people? I love the name Alexandra but it does feel a bit meh sometimes and I think Axelina has a very similar vibe yet slightly different so I'm loving it but still having mini second thoughts.

I like it ....

DramaAlpaca · 21/06/2020 21:37

It sounds like a character from the Asterix comics.

I sort of like it, but not sure.

Are you a Guns n Roses fan?

Don't be ridiculous.

OwlBasket · 21/06/2020 21:38

I’m used to hearing both English and Dutch (obvs. Not Scandinavian but there are similarities). It sounds like it could be the name of an industrial lubricant.

Really don't like it.

GaraMedouar · 21/06/2020 21:39

Nope

LightDrizzle · 21/06/2020 21:41

Sounds like something a car mechanic might have to hand in a big tin.

GertiMJN · 21/06/2020 21:43

To my non-scandanavian ear it sounds like an attempt to 'feminise' Axel and immediately thought of guns and Roses like pp

If you hate your child but can't be arsed spending your whole life torturing her then this is an excellent alternative.

Skyliner001 · 21/06/2020 21:44

Terrible

Harpischord · 21/06/2020 21:45

Ha ha ha ha. No.

RedRec · 21/06/2020 21:46

This has to be a wind up.

littlequestion · 21/06/2020 21:47

It sounds like an anti-biotic. Sorry.

HPLikecraft · 21/06/2020 21:52

Terrible

gameboyy · 21/06/2020 21:52

No need to be rude (some of you). I do appreciate opinions but I'm not here to get mocked over my name choices. And it is an actual name so I didn't just make it up 5 minutes ago.

Honesty will always be appreciated as long as it isn't rude

Honestly, it's awful.

Moltenpink · 21/06/2020 21:55

Ohhh I like it! Cute.

OneFootintheRave · 21/06/2020 21:58

Axelle? But yes, I immediately thought Guns and Roses.

Londoner99 · 21/06/2020 21:59

I guess the good thing about this name is that there won't be five Alexinas by the time she reaches nursery. Are there any other names you like?

MWNA · 21/06/2020 22:01

Ghastly. Hilariously awful. It's like you're joking or something

Bertucci · 21/06/2020 22:02

Only if you hate your child.

Smellbellina · 21/06/2020 22:02

Sounds like a contraceptive pill

villainousbroodmare · 21/06/2020 22:03

Sorry, it's a shocker.

MrMenGoSwimming · 21/06/2020 22:03

Is this today's Haven? Wink
