My dad's name is literally Philip Ralph!

Ralph can maybe work if you get people to stick to the "Rafe" pronunciation (like actor Ralph Fiennes). Even then, Ralph Philip looks like the same letters repeating in a loop.

Ralph with the L pronounced... well, it sounds exactly like what it's describing (https://www.dictionary.com/browse/ralph?s=t).

I like it and don’t know why because it’s not that nice sounding. Maybe A Christmas Story is why I have a soft spot for it, lol.

Hmm Ralph Philip has too much “f” sound for me.

---

It is a tricky name to pair with...

Ralph is a decent enough name. I don't like it enough to use, but it would be fine on someone else or their child.

Ralph Philip is enough to blow anyone's false teeth out - or, indeed, their own teeth! Even if it is a mn, and not heard very often, it will be heard sometimes. Ralph Jonathan Philip could work very well, depending on the ln.

It sounds buffoonish to me.

I don’t hate it but it hasn’t got the nicest of sounds. I prefer the similar sounding Raphael.

This is my Dad’s name. I love my Dad. I hate his name. Even if it weren’t a slang term for vomiting, I just don’t like the sound.

Kill it with a stick. Ralph sounds like a dog barking, or like throwing up and in fact is common slang for throwing up.

sorry I dont like it
