All the names seem pretty straight-forward and are pretty well known. I do have to do a high five for Axel!!! {*wink*} We just named our fourth son Axel and I'm digging it. We also have a Will, btw.

Every time I hear the name Axel, my 1st thought is Eddie Murphy, 2nd thought is wheels, and my 3rd thought is Axel Rose.

Those were all dh's and my first thoughts, too!! LOL. But then we got past those associations and our "fourth thought" (that it's a unique name with a long history, and a great meaning) really caused the name to grow on us. It's ethnicity (German) cinched the deal since dh's family is German. Oh, and dh *loves* how it goes with our now-second youngest son's name (Ike). Ike and Axel. Our pastor at church said they sound like they're going to start a Christian biker gang someday, tee-hee.

Anyway, I know the name's not for everyone -- I don't expect everyone to jump on the Axel bandwagon -- but it does fit our little guy well.

I'm so glad you are both so happy with the name, it can be so difficult to agree.
