I like it. I don't know any person named that, but I did know I dog named Axel.

Axel ist used in Germany, too. But our word for armpit is Achsel and has the same pronunciation like Axel, so it is a little funny name ;) I know one man named Axel, a very very stinky person, so the name Axel fits really good, I think ;)

I dont like it at all, too much of a car part name imo, like Gage. I've known an Axel, and people called him ***hole, because they thought it was close to Axel...

I think it's alright. I know a Jacob Axel.

Axel is a really nice name, but i can't think of that name without my thoughts automatically going to the character Axel from the video Game: Kingdom hearts.

im not so much of a fan of the name, i like alex better. i definitely prefer the spelling axel to axl.

I like it. This only person I met named Axel was some boy on my brother's baseball team years ago.

Axel always struck me as a wannabe rock star name. I really dislike it. Oddly enough, I actually prefer Axl to Axel, though I don't know why. Looks more interesting I guess.

Axel was # 15 on the popularity list last year in Sweden, so it's very common here at the moment. It's definitely having a revival. I much prefer Axel to Alex. Axel is a bit of an upper class name here by the way.
Axl just looks wrong and it instantly makes me think of Axl Rose from Guns N Roses. Not necessarily a bad association in my opinion but I wouldn't name a child after him.
