[Opinions] Re: Axl/Axle/Axel
I love Guns 'N' Roses and even if Axl Rose was uber cool back in the 80's, he was also a jerk (still is, I guess). What I'm trying to say is that I'm not sure Axl Rose is a good association. On the other hand, if I met a little boy named Axl/Axel (agree Axel is the better spelling) and found out he was named after Axl Rose I would pretty much think his parents were awesome.
I think Axel/Axl is kind of like Hendrix and Lennon, definitely associated with musicians. I also consider the name Axel to be a classic Scandinavian name. It's kind of upper class, actually.

My husband LOVES the name Axel and Ace. His last name is Ringland and I cannot stand Ace Ringland! However, we have both fell in love with the name Easton Sawyer for a boy and Preston Leigh (nickname Presley) for a girl and the responses for it have been almost all negative!! SO do what you and your husband want, it's your baby! I do like the name Axel, or even a middle name. Axel Gabriel, Gabriel Axel, Axel Warren, there are lots of options for middle names! Goodluck!
