Walt (Walter) or has pregnancy brain finally taken over??

[SalaDo]

Me and DP love Walt . . But is it just too 'old man'?

There's a lot of names I would have considered "old man" 10 or so years ago, and they're all running round the KS1 playground now. You could be leading the way with Walt.

There are connections for me to Walter the Softy, and Wallies generally.

It is,and it's awful.

Think I like it.

Pressed post too soon. Was going to add that Walter is a marmite name so if you love it use it and ignore the and faces when you tell people what your baby is called.

I know a couple of young Walts. Very cool name.

I couldn't do Walt because of Garp.
Poor Walt.

But I quite like Walter

I love Walt and didn't think of Wally myself.

Oh my god triggering memories of a Walt I used to work with. Beyond sexy..swoon...Never thought of the name in the same way again

Thanks alot for the views :)

Think you're right about the marmite aspect of it. Didnt think of it like that! makes sense!

We considered it when I was pregnant with DD (couldn't use it for obvious reasons!). I loved little Walt from Garp, and although it is a sad story he was the cutest character, and I now think it is a fab name!

Walter Mitty? Walter the Softie?

I'm not convinced this name has lost its negative connotations. FFIW, I was at school with a Walter. He was invariably known by his middle name instead.

I have can never think of it without referencing "Walter the Farting Dog" - God I love those books; Walter saving the day with his farts - powering cruise ships and deterring burglars. Bloody wonderful writing.

I know a little Walter (Walt) and the name really suits him.

I think it's a lovely name.

I would always think 'Wally',
but then I don't know if children use this as an insult anymore??

I like it, my g.granddad was called Walter (Wol as his nn) and i had wanted it if i ever had a ds until dp pointed out that with his surname it would be Walter Lilley

Really ugly name.sorry

Love it. Great taste!

i think its quite cute
reminds me of lost there was a boy called walt in the first series? also reminds me of disney

I love it, but then I am biased as my son has it as his middle name

hi - we've been thinking about this name too as its a family name on DHs side (our dd is named after someone on my side) - we just can't decide! Maybe we can lead the way in its revival Salado No help at all to you then! Sorry!

lol ginger2000 I think I'm liking it more and more . . Though I deffo see the marmite thing more and more.

Discussed it with my Mum and she loved it, told my sister and she didnt react (shocked silence I think), told me she needed to digest and call back and I havent heard from her since LOL!!!

It reminds me of worts so I wouldn't use it.
