Dislike immensely, but that doesn't matter, if you guys like it!

I've got an Axl, always loved the name and ever since I was young (and obsessed with GnR) I said if I ever had a son he'd be named Axl.

Never had a negative comment on the name (although I appreciate most people would keep that to themselves anyway)

It is getting more popular so may date badly along with all the Archers, Arlo's, Archies etc. But I do think it's a nice strong name making a nice change from the "ie" ending boys names that are everywhere and strangley most of the children from the many baby groups my son goes to seem to remember and say the name really well so it's helped him make a lot of little friends.

Hi ! Sorry to jump on a thread but we are considering naming our boy Axl too. Regardless of gnr which we love to, it's just a lot nicer spelling to Axel. Although got absolutely crucified here when raised a thread about that name 🤣

I really like it!
I like all the 'Alex' names and this seems a nice interesting twist, though I know it's unrelated to Alex.

Not keen on the Axl spelling as it's a bit contrived/pop starry/oral sex related.
