We use it as a nn for our son Alexander

---

I like it. Ryan Axel is nice.

I really like it. Ryan Axel is nice.

---

Some of my combos are...

---

Johnny Axel
Louis Axel
Gunnar Axel
Taylor Axel
Rowan Axel
Joseph Axel
Josiah Axel
Wade Axel

I like Axel, but do to the Axl Rose association, I would only use it as a middle name.

---

I do not, however, like Ryan Axel. I dislike Ryan with a passion that most would not understand. I find it to be lacking and common. You do, I think, have the right idea with Axel as a middle name. ;)

I like Axel ever since i read a biography on Marie Antoinette and Axel Ferson was a man she loved and supposedly had an affair with but anyways, i prefer Ferson to Axel but i do like it.

---

i think Axel Barnaby sounds sweet or Axel William sounds more masculine

---

Axel Jude is also nice

---

Ryan Axel is okay but i don't think Ryan really fits the name, it seems a little dull next to Axel, Axel Ryan would be better but i'd still suggest not using Ryan with Axel

---

Hope this helps

Its not really my style. I loved Guns and Roses but Axel Rose, the lead singer, was an asshole so I always associate the name with him. I agree with Marilee, its probably better as a mn. I don't like the combo Ryan Axel, because both names only have two syllables and four letters, it just doesn't work for me. Its too choppy, imo. Some fn suggestions:

---

Adrian
Benedict
Christian
Everett
Kallias
Lucius
Logan
Phineas
Phoenix
River
Roman
Rowan
Octavian
Samson
Shiloh
Solomon
Sterling
Tristan

---

Axl Rose

That's all I can think of when I see the name. Guns n' Roses. For that reason, I think it makes a much better middle name than a first name.
