Alphonso Philip
Oscar Nicholas

WDYT as a sibset, and just as names on their own?
Last name would be Backowski.

Yikes. They're really not my style at all, especially not Alphonso, that sounds like a joke. And when you put them with Backowski? Just yikes. I guess they do go together as a sibset, since they're about equally awful... I can live with Oscar, but not with Backowski, and I just really have to say no to Alphonso.

I grew up with these names (my grandfather (Alphonso), uncle and brother (Philip), father (Oscar) and boyfriend (Nicholas)) so they never struck me as "a joke" or "awful". I just always knew they were... "unique".

Ha! My Grandpa's name was Alphonso Durward *last name sounds like "Cocks"*. I bet that is a major yikes for you! ;)

Ha ha, it is indeed. I guess growing up with a name makes all the difference with things like this; I was probably fifteen before I figured out my grandma had a Southern accent. She just talked like Mawmaw, it never once crossed my mind that she was different in any way. (And there's nothing at all weird or objectionable about Philip or Nicholas, by the way, I was really only reacting to the first names.)

I prefer Philip Alphonso and Oscar Nicholas, mostly because Alphonso and Oscar sound a little dated together (a bit like 70 year old men playing chess in the park). Philip Backowski also flows a little better than Alphonso Backowski.
