So DH likes the name Axel....thoughts? I have my opnion but I told him I would post to see what you ladies think.

MWoodside · December 2009

Axel Rose comes to mind immediately.

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.

That's the teenager on the tv show The Middle. I'm not a fan of it.

Emiliana7 · December 2009

Dog name, yes; child's name, no.

ubermoose · December 2009

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!

At the moment, what comes to mind is that it's the middle name of Tiger Woods' son, Charlie.

Immediately, I thought Rose. Even if I didn't, an axel is a noun to me, not a name.

Worcbride · December 2009

nms; sounds made up and reminds me of Axel Rose--is that his real name btw or a showbiz thing?

carolinag · December 2009

like axel rose? gross. i'd have to veto that one.

alabaster_angel · December 2009

Veto.

yep... but a cool name.

MelCfromMN · December 2009

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.

ValentineBB · December 2009

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"

HAHAH yes

This exactly.

lotsofbustles · December 2009

Axel Rose, first thought.

J+R · December 2009

Not at all.

abbychristianson · December 2009

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.
