His brothers name is Lennox West and our last name is Dioguardi. My family is scandinavian so I want to honor that and I also love boy names with an X so Axel is my first choice. I have always loved that name. My husband thinks its too &#8216;tough guy&#8217; and that our son should be in a biker gang. My husband likes the names Marcus, Gray, Grayson and I think those are boring and dont go with our last name or brothers name. We have talked about Oliver and Oscar but they are not quite our style though I do like the names. Help me convince my hubby that Axel is the right choice or suggest other names.<\/p>\n<p>Anna Dioguardi<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lennox and Axel feels like a lot of X to me, but that&#8217;s very subjective. Lennox is unisex (given to 394 new baby girls and 692 new baby boys in 2016) but Axel is not; I think this contrast may add even more to the macho feeling of Axel. Your husband&#8217;s choice of Grayson is an excellent style match for Lennox, but if you don&#8217;t like it we should look for something else.<\/p>\n<p>Baxter (has an X)<br \/>\nBrogan<br \/>\nChanning<br \/>\nCrosby<br \/>\nFinley<br \/>\nFletcher<br \/>\nFlynn<br \/>\nKeaton<br \/>\nLawson<br \/>\nLogan<br \/>\nMeyer<br \/>\nMiller<br \/>\nQuincy<br \/>\nPaxton<br \/>\nRedford<br \/>\nThompson<br \/>\nXavier (has an X)<\/p>\n<p>For Scandinavian names, I used <a href=\"https:\/\/nameberry.com\/baby-names\/173\/Scandinavian-Names\">Nameberry<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>Anders<br \/>\nAnderson<br \/>\nBroder<br \/>\nCallan<br \/>\nCarlsen<br \/>\nDaven<br \/>\nEricson<br \/>\nHanson<br \/>\nHaldan<br \/>\nJanson<br \/>\nJenson<br \/>\nKai<br \/>\nKieron<br \/>\nOlsen<br \/>\nVerner<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello Swistle!
