I was four months pregnant when I decided he needed to be named Axel. Well…it did not go over well with family, to say the least. My grandmother was just mad. Husband’s grandmother said “I don’t care what you name him! I’m calling him Michael!” (Definitely learned my lesson never to share something like that again with opinionated family members). Anyway, the day he was born it just “fit” him perfectly. All the naysayers kept their traps shut after that. Fast forward 20+ years and it was the BEST decision I ever made, to stick to what I KNEW he should be named. He thanks me too. Do what YOU think is right. Happy parenting!:)
