Walter the Softy; whom I actually fancied, 25 years ago. I've never liked the name, though, even then; sorry.

I've just read yoru comment on another post and now that you have said it was your granddad's name i puts a whole new spin on it. I think that's a lovely idea. I must admit I like the real old classic names like Victor. Just think too to cute nick name he could have, Walt!! :-)

A very tall dark Handsome Brazilian who is married to one of my best friends - a gentleman and wonderful husband and father . Amazing what's in a name isn't it.
