[Opinions] Axel, Aksel
What do you think of Axel / Aksel? Which spelling do you prefer? I think Aksel has more of a softer look, but Axel looks more streamlined.I had a neighbor named Axel, and I didn't like it at the time. He'd be about 23-24 now.

I dislike both, if I had to pick, I would pick Axel.

I like it a lot, and I would use it in real life. Axel is the only spelling I like since it looks modernistic.
There was, or perhaps still is, Axl Rose from Guns 'n Roses. Probably helped band fans to like Axel.
Don't like it at all, it's a car part
I just looked it up online and it says
in Estonia, Denmark, and Norway the spelling Aksel is more common.
I love the name Aksel. I prefer the Aksel spelling.
