If user growth and mainstream adoption are your goals then calling the product 'Signal' is the better choice by leaps and bounds.

Axolotl is cool in a techy/underground sort of way (if your into that) but completely misses the boat on being 1) Easy to spell, 2) easy to pronounce, 3) easy to understand.

Mainstream users would just say "wtf" and move on to whatsapp/telegram/facebook messenger.
