Obvious connection is Guns n' Roses, but it probably wouldn't be for your LO's generation. NMS, but I wouldn't worry about the Axel Rose connection if you actually like the name.
I actually like it. Not on my list, but if I met a kid named Axel, I would think it was a pretty cool name. Not trendy, not made up, versatile, simple, unpretentious but sophisticated, a bit Euro-sounding... It's worth a second thought, at least!
I think it's cute, I know quite a few kids with that name, and 1 adult. It's a very Scandinavian name, and I live in a very Scandinavian dominatated area, so it's quite popular here. I do still think Axel Rose though when I here it.
this is a very common scandinavian name, and is popular in those parts of europe. so if you are scandinavian it would make more sense. but most people will think of axel rose.

I just want to give you a world as beautiful as you are to me.
Veto.
yep... but a cool name.
I think of two things:
1. Axl Rose (not the best namesake unless you are cool with him fronting a rock band)
2. Being on a toll bridge where it says "2 Axles: $2.50 4 Axles: $4.00"
"This ribbon has been reported." - lovesnina
HAHAH yes
This exactly.
