Tommy or Aksel

[namethoughts]

Down to our final two choices with baby arriving next week.

Tommy or Aksel?

I'm biased because my eldest is Tom. Thomas on the birth cert, but he has never, ever once in his life been Tommy. Always was Tom (or sometimes Tomsk).

Tommy is a bit 'little boy'. You name a baby, but what you end up with is a man.

Thomas nn Tommy

Axel makes me think of cars / guns and Roses, but unless there’s a cultural reason at least spell it normally

Prefer aksel.

If you go with Tommy do Thomas as Tommy is a bit east end gangster e g. Tommy 'the hatchet' Malone
