Hello :).
In my story, there is one family who has a tradition of naming the firstborn son [name_m]Aksel[/name_m], but they all go by different nicknames (kind of like families with lots of [name_m]Williams[/name_m], but they are called [name_m]Bill[/name_m], [name_u]Billy[/name_u], [name_u]Will[/name_u], and Liam). The only problem is that I can’t think of very many nicknames! So far I have Aks/Akse/Axe and Paks/Pax.
So, please throw all the ideas you have at me! I don’t mind if they are stretchy, so long as they are based on the name [name_m]Aksel[/name_m].
Thank you!
Ak, [name_u]Aki[/name_u], [name_f]El[/name_f], Kel, [name_u]Ace[/name_u], A, AJ (with a J middle name), Elly/Eli. That’s all I can think of, hope this helps!
I know a boy named [name_m]Aksel[/name_m] and everyone calls him [name_u]Aki[/name_u] or Aks. I think Ako, Ak, [name_f]Essie[/name_f], [name_f]Elle[/name_f], Kie, [name_u]Kelly[/name_u], Kes, [name_f]Kessie[/name_f], Akehs, [name_u]Sal[/name_u], [name_u]Lex[/name_u] would fit this name too. He is usually mistaken with [name_u]Alex[/name_u] so maybe you can call him [name_u]Alex[/name_u], [name_m]Alexei[/name_m], Alexie, [name_f]Elexis[/name_f], [name_u]Alexis[/name_u], [name_m]Alessio[/name_m], [name_m]Xan[/name_m], [name_m]Zander[/name_m], [name_m]Xander[/name_m], [name_m]Xaver[/name_m], [name_m]Xavier[/name_m], [name_u]Lexie[/name_u], [name_u]Lexis[/name_u].
I know a boy named [name_u]Axel[/name_u] (I’m assuming it’s the same pronunciation with different spelling) and he goes by [name_m]Ax[/name_m] or Axie a lot. A few fun ones I thought of are Chopper (like because of axe), Wheels or [name_m]Wheeler[/name_m] (because of an axle on a car), and [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], or [name_m]Gunnar[/name_m] / [name_m]Gunner[/name_m] (because of [name_u]Axel[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and Guns n’ Roses). You could also use Sel or Selly / Sellie.

@em.day Thank you! They are all great, but I particularly like Kel, [name_u]Aki[/name_u], [name_f]El[/name_f], and [name_u]Ace[/name_u].
@MinaG Ooh, I love Kie, [name_u]Sal[/name_u], Akehs, [name_u]Lex[/name_u], and [name_u]Kelly[/name_u]! And thank you for the plethora of [name_u]Alex[/name_u] names!
@Emarkulics [name_m]Aksel[/name_m] is the Scandinavian form, and the story is set in a Scandinavian-inspired world. Thank you for the suggestions! I like Sel, and Chopper is so funny!
