Ezekial and Phineas (sibs I know in person)
Ezekial is two, and Phineas isn't even one yet. Their nicknames are Easy and Phin. Thoughts?

All I can say is... cool!
What fantastic names! I really like the names, especially Phineas, and they go together brilliantly. The only thing is I would suggest that Ezekiel might consider switching nn once he gets a bit older, as "Easy" might be too much of a target for teasing. That's a minor issue, though- great sibset!
*swoons*
Ezekial would be way better as Ezekiel, but oh well. Phineas is just mind boggingly awesome! I've always loved it, but doubted anybody would be brave enough to use it. Uber cool. I think that Ezekial could be teased pretty badly in middle school with a nn like Easy, so something like Kyle or Ezzy would be better, IMO. But Phin works just fine.

Ezekiel (this spelling only) I really like, but not with the nn Easy! Zeke is far nicer imo. Not a big fan of Phineas tbh. The names do work nicely together though.
Ezekiel is nms, though Zeke is ok. I think Easy is a terrible nn.
I don't care for Phineas. Biblically, Hophni and Phineas were the evil sons of the priest, Eli. Both Hophni and Phineas defiled the temple by taking the people's offerings and bringing prostitutes to the temple, and they were later killed. Not a good association for me. The nn Phin is ok, though.

Hmmm...
I quite like Phineas, and the sibset is pleasantly out of the norm, but I'm not sure I personally like it. Ezekial is nmsaa, so that pulls the set down a bit for me. Interesting overall, though.
