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.

Not Melina - please not Melina. Nothing against Mrs Trump but ask any nurse or doctor about melina / meleana and you'll get a screwed up face

Alexina yes , Axelina no

Another no for Axelina. Or Alexina. Alexis maybe but not a big fan.

That is Melania Trump.

Melina comes from Meli which means honey in Greek. It only has negative connotations in the meleana version in English.

It is very popular in the continent and connected to sweetness due to it's honey prefix.

I'm not sure on Axelina, it reminds me of Thomasina and Nigella, a male name feminised quite clunkily.

My ds goes to school with a girl called Esalina/Isalina (I'm not sure how it's spelled, pronounced EEsaLEENa) and I think that's really pretty.

It's too plain. Axeliana would be more current, or how about Axelabella.
