[Opinions] Philip, Alonzo & Kenneth "Kenny"
Three names that have been on my mind lately—Philip, Alonzo / Alonso, and Kenneth, nickname Kenny. All separate, not as a sib.Especially Philip, I find it so handsome and kind of dark and mysterious. Though I despise the nickname Phil.WDYT?

Philip and Kenneth have the same classic, vintage charm. I don't think either of them needs a nn.Alonzo and Alonso don't happen where I live, so I have no context for them.

They would actually work as a subset, though!
I like Alonzo, but I prefer Alonso, and then Alfonso is the best.
Phillip is a good, respectable name. I'm not really a fan of Phil as a nickname either. Its actually the most reasonable nickname for it. But I like Philly (that's what they call Philadelphia for short, I think it sounds cheery). And I adore Pip or Peppe.
I have mixed feelings for Kenneth. I don't like names ending in -th generally. They feel weird on my tongue. I prefer Ken. Kenny is a cute nickname for either, or for Kendall, McKinkey, etc.
I'm not sure if I like Kenny as standalone name. If it was more common, perhaps it would not seem odd to me. It seems that the usage of names make them feel normal or strange to us.

You could call him Pip or PhillyPhilip: 7/10, just because of Hamilton though
Alonzo: 4/10, I don't hear this a lot anymore, but I love the nickname Lonnie
Kenneth "Kenny": Kenny is cuter as a nickname for Kendall or Kenley for me its a 7.5/10, but not a fan of Kenneth 3/10 for me

I like them all. Phillip with two l's is my husband's name. His family calls him Phillip (or Zippo/Zip/Zipup, because one of his younger sisters called him that before she could say his name right) but most of his friends call him Phil. He ansers too them all.Alonzo is very sexy, as is Alfonso.Kenneth is okay, but I like Kenny better, but Kenny isn't a nn that works too good on its own and I just don't like either name enough to use Kenneth to get Kenny.
