I can't say I'm a fan. I would say it ack-SELL based on spelling and the patterns of other names (
Gabriel vs
Gabrielle,
Michael vs
Michelle, etc). I just don't like the sound.
It sounds a little spiky next to
Clarisse and
Nadine, which have a softer feel (though
Nadine isn't super soft, IMO). I'd expect
Axelle to be the violent sister. Maybe it's just because I can't hear the name
Axel (or
Axelle, apparently) without thinking of someone wielding an ax.
