Ooh I love [name_m]Lars[/name_m]! I’ve never seen it used before. It’s accessible, rare, and extremely handsome with [name_u]Monroe[/name_u] and [name_m]Butler[/name_m].

sydneyrianna · November 2, 2016, 7:56pm

Thank you! I’m absolutely in love with it.

sydneyrianna · November 3, 2016, 10:21am

I appreciate everyone who has voted! Thank you

[name_m]Axel[/name_m] [name_u]Monroe[/name_u] [name_m]Butler[/name_m] is amazing!

I much prefer [name_m]Axel[/name_m] [name_u]Monroe[/name_u] [name_m]Butler[/name_m]

The only thing that scares me about [name_m]Axel[/name_m] is that someone told me that if it you say it really quickly, it sounds like you’re saying a**hole

Normally I’d vote for [name_m]Axel[/name_m], but I see it as a word name (as is the name [name_m]Butler[/name_m]), and I have a rule against pairing two word names together. I also think the one-syllable [name_m]Lars[/name_m] flows better with [name_m]Butler[/name_m] than does two-syllable [name_m]Axel[/name_m].

sydneyrianna · November 3, 2016, 1:19pm

Thank you for that perspective, I never considered that they’re both word names.

sydneyrianna · November 3, 2016, 4:54pm

Practically tied! That’s how we feel lol

sydneyrianna · November 4, 2016, 6:15am

If people could explain why they picked what they did I would highly appreciate it

[name_m]Axel[/name_m] [name_u]Monroe[/name_u] [name_m]Butler[/name_m] flows much better than [name_m]Lars[/name_m] [name_u]Monroe[/name_u] [name_m]Butler[/name_m]. Also, I do not like the name [name_m]Lars[/name_m] at all. In my opinion, [name_m]Lars[/name_m] just has a very rough, weird sound. While [name_m]Axel[/name_m] isn’t my personal style, it is a much better name and fits leagues better in the combo.

You certainly can’t go wrong with either, they’re both amazing! I like the name [name_m]Lars[/name_m] better (I’m friends with a guy named [name_m]Lars[/name_m], and he’s a great guy with a great name), but [name_m]Axel[/name_m] [name_u]Monroe[/name_u] sounds really great too.

I find [name_m]Lars[/name_m] to be far more interesting than [name_m]Axel[/name_m]. [name_m]Axel[/name_m] is a cool name, but also seems rather trendy. [name_m]Lars[/name_m] is unexpected but recognizable; I would be thrilled to meet a little [name_m]Lars[/name_m]! I also think the flow is better with the middle and last name, rather than the less than idyllic 2-2-2.

I love [name_m]Lars[/name_m]!

boyandgirl · November 4, 2016, 6:24pm

I prefer [name_m]Lars[/name_m].

vc2013 · November 4, 2016, 10:49pm

I picked [name_m]Lars[/name_m] because it’s one of my favorite names, and totally underused in the US. I expect you to get a lot of “OMG where did you find that name, I love it!” on [name_m]Lars[/name_m].

I dislike [name_m]Axel[/name_m], the sound, and I connect it with [name_m]Axl[/name_m] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]… and his temperament…

[name_m]Lars[/name_m] strikes me as more elegant, formal potential, while [name_m]Axel[/name_m] just sounds uncultured to me. Totally subjective of course. They both are totally fine to use, whichever you prefer!
