Never heard that before.
Axel is a Skandinavian/Germanic name, so yes, it is a real name. I assume the name stuck by the time the project was still attached to Sylvester Stallone.
And he went on to make Cobra instead.
Yep. Actually met a girl named Axel once. She was teased for being named after Axl Rose but assured us that it was a real name before he came along.
Cool
No, it's a fake name.
Fake name, a negro with a Scandinavian name ?
I am very sure that there is likely also somewhere in North-Europe a white Tyrone. Kanye for sure.
Probably !
