Boy's name Axl, thoughts?

[Lanicholla]

So we found out we gonna have a boy and my husband really likes the name Axl, as its unusual and not common. I'm trying to warm up to it though :)
Obviously there are associations with GnR, but that's irrelevant. What are your thoughts?

I’m not keen on it at all but if it was going to be used I would add a letter E in!

I think Axel is nicer, Axl to me looks like it's missing an e.

I’d do Axel too. I met a baby Axel tho, it was cuter than I’d have first thought.

I would put the E in too. Otherwise it brings oral sex connotations to my mind.

Agree. Axel. Not Axl. Its a good name.

Not keen on the spelling, would spell Axel but much prefer Alex(ander)

Middle name Rose? 😉

lets get it out there as you will be asked ALL the time

That's my boy chihuahua name.

He's named after Axl Heck from the middle. Which is what springs to mind with the name. More so now than Axl Rose or Axel F.

It looks like Axl is short for an axolotl. Not keen on the name, but if you do use it, put an E in it.

Axl Rose spelt it like that, apparently so his whole name would be an anagram of 'oral sex'. I would add an E - Axel is a lovely name.

Do you live in the paradise city?

I love Axolotls ! (Helpful)
I know of a Norwegian Axel. Better than Axl imo.

You say the guns and roses thing is irrelevant, but I bet you'd soon be sick of it!

Actually have remembered he is Aksel. I am half asleep, sorry.
Aksel is the nicest spelling .

Wherever it is, I heard the girls sure are pretty

Do you live somewhere where the grass green and the girls are pretty?

There’s a very good reason for the name being unusual OP. Tell your DH to change his name if he wants to indulge his inner rock god.

nice name but for his sake spell it the most intuitive way, Axel

I miss the Heck's!

I don't associate it with Guns'n'Roses OP. I associate it with Beverly Hills Cop.

Love it x

Big fan of The Middle so I’m pro Axel. But definitely with an ‘E’. Axl Rose only spelt his stage name like that because of the oral sex thing I believe.

I just think of an axle, like on a car. Sorry. Apart from that, I personally think it’s a rather ugly harsh sounding name.

I love it, I used to know a female Axel too, great name

Agreed.

Brother Xhaust and sister Braix, presumably.

One of Little Mix named her baby Axel so probably not that unusual anymore.
