Axl Jack sounds like a bottle of booze.
It could also be a male porn star name.
It could be the name of a dive bar or a really bad restaurant.
It could be the name of a Billy Joel song.
It could be the name of a villain on a soap opera.
It could be a car part.
I don't understand why they just didn't name the kid Jack. Jack Duhamel is a fine name. Axl Jack Duhamel sounds like the name of the kid you know always has some pot on him when you are in school and need to get wasted.
Yeah, the name threw me too. Not a fan.
ReplyDeleteWell, who wouldn't want to name their kid after a violent woman-beating coward who idolizes Charles Manson?
ReplyDeleteFergie thinks she is Rock & Roll and picked a rocking name for her kid, no worse than Zuma, Apple, or Mowgli.
ReplyDeleteI think they named him Axl Jack so that they can nickname him AJ. As far as crazy names go, this one is fairly tame.
ReplyDeleteDear sweet baby Jesus- that's an AWFUL name to stick your kid with.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it doesn't really roll off the tongue.
ReplyDeleteA rock and roll name better than Mowgli in my opinion
ReplyDeletePoor little Apple Jacks.
ReplyDeleteLol I totally thought of Apple Jacks when I first heard his name too. Poor kid.
DeleteI thought it was a beer/cocktail hybrid.
ReplyDeleteThen again, with Fergie for a mother, name is the least of AJ's troubles.
Still better than North West.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting over the hate on baby names. Celebrities have always given interesting names to their kids and now everyone tries to give their babies "unique" names. If the biggest parenting mistake a couple makes is what they name their baby, they deserve a fucking award.
It's not that bad!
ReplyDeleteFar better than North West for sure, and agree he'll probably end up being referred to AJ anyways.
ReplyDeleteThere are way worse names--the latest being North West. Moxie CrimeFighter, Pilot Inspektor, Dweezil to name just a few.
ReplyDelete@FSP I was thinking Apple Jacks too!
ReplyDeleteAxl Jack, meh. I agree with @Audrey, there are far worse names. Moon Unit Zappa!
ReplyDeleteEver since the Diet Pepsi commercial, I have had a mad crush on Josh Duhamel. When he races the little girl down on the aisle and tells the older lady "I'm checking YOU out!"
Maybe they're a fan of the show "The Middle"?
ReplyDeleteMaybe they're just huge Enpire Records fans. "Does Axl have a jack?"
ReplyDelete@VIPblonde: I... um... I... sorry, what were you saying? Got a little distracted there. I will not click again, I will not click again (clicks again).
DeleteIt's their right to name him whatever they want. It's not what I would pick, but it's none of my business. I'm 7 1/2 months pregnant now, & I get annoyed with friends & family weighing in on what we "really should name the baby."
ReplyDelete@Erin- don't tell anyone the baby's name until he/she is born. My MIL ruined the name we picked by saying it was a dog's name. It kind od was, though...
ReplyDeleteMaybe the baby isn't named after Axl Rose.
It sounds like the name of a tool.
ReplyDeleteThen see what the kids do once they're older, Zowee Bowie now calls himself Duncan - just about the polar opposite.
ReplyDeleteSweary baby knows what it's about.
Say it fast and it sounds like "Apple Jacks" Congrats on the birth of Apple Jacks Duhamel
ReplyDeleteI have a cousin named Axel, I think it's a Scandinavian/Germanic type name.. I dunno, Axl Jack just makes it sound strange.
ReplyDeleteI'm not concerned with the name. Why does Enty assume it was entirely Fergie's decision?
ReplyDeleteI will add this to the list of things I won't forgive Fergie for, no matter how hot she is. Along with this.
ReplyDeleteI like the name Axl, although I would prefer Axle. Jack is a good name if he doesn't like it. Axle Rose is not the first thought I get even thought I grew up with his music and I doubt it will the first thought of this baby's generation.
ReplyDeleteI have an Axl Jack in the truck of my car.
ReplyDeleteDidnt jess simp just name her baby axel? I dont like it but hey its her kid and it isnt as bad as motorhead.
ReplyDeleteAxl Jack? Makes me think of Candle Jack from "Freakazoid." Say his name 3 times and he appears.
ReplyDeleteAxl Jack, Axl Jack, Axl Jack!
Zowie Bowie is a film director. He directed "Source Code" and "Moon". David Bowie's real name is David Jones so his son goes by the name Duncan Jones.
ReplyDeleteIts a very traditional Dutch name. Just cause one POS singer has the same name does mean everyone named Axl should be associated with it....I like that they went with a traditional name---not some eccentric douchey name
ReplyDeleteThey named their kid Axl, because daddy is dumb as a box of rocks, and mommy is an ex-meth head.
ReplyDeleteI like the name, but I think they should have spelled it Axel. He is probably going to go by just Axl and Jack is the middle name, right? I am just glad she isn't pregnant anymore.
ReplyDeleteAlso, she should stop trying to sing Sweet Child O Mine, she doesn't do it justice.
ReplyDeleteI love the name Jack. So to me, the name is a least 1/2 great. It had to be a little different. When my kids were born every other girl was either Britney or Ashley. Now I see Olive and June are the new "popular" names. Axl doesn't remind me of anything. (Am I the only one???).
ReplyDeleteHe sounds like a dweller of a trailer park.
