Wallace?

What are your thoughts? Is Wallace too "and Gromit"; Wally too "Wall-E"? Too 'old man' still or back to being fresh and retro?
I've come to quite like the name but I'm a bit on the fence if it's ready for a comeback yet!

And Gromit?

No. Just no.

why would you do that to a child? sorry op, definitely not!

... and Gromit.

I don't think it's ready for a revival.

So it really seems to divide opinions! Two likes, two 'no's...
I'm not in Scotland btw - far from it, South East/home counties; and no Scottish connections or background whatsoever. Would it be more acceptable as a Scottish name? (As in, used by someone who's Scottish).

No, it's an old man name too far I'm afraid.

I love Wallace!

So ready for a comeback! Will age really well as your child grows up. I think of grandad-chic toddlers, rugby playing teenagers and suited up businessmen.

People will think of Wallace and Gromit, but that's not a bad association in my book! Love W&G!

Fab choice, sticking it on my list.
