Waldo?

[meadowlarks]

I know there's the "Where's Waldo" connotation but I think that's quite cool. Any takers?

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA....Um No.....Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha/

I'll second that. Sorry but NO

Haha. How predictable.

That's my sister's dog's name.

I'm sorry for being mean. It's just the idea of being introduced to a baby called Waldo is comical to me. Its a comedy name.

I think you'd be inviting a lifetime of ridicule and bullying for your child by calling them Waldo.

I'm sorry, but I sniggered when I saw the name as well. I agree with BunnyLebowski.

It's fine, I did ask for your opinion after all I prefer Walt anyway.

Now y'see I actually do like Walt/Walter. It's old man cool iyswim .

Yes, me too. The reason I asked about Waldo is because it was my great-grandfather's name and is pretty close to Walt/Walter. But clearly, I can't kill two birds with one stone without inviting hilarity.

I knew this would be you. I just knew it.

Anyway,no absolutely not. Though it would give everyone who heard it a good laugh,but I doubt that's your desired effect.

He'd be a shoo-in for The Magic Circle though with a name like that.

Stick with Walt. It's not to my taste but it won't make people laugh,though he may get sick of Disney references, it's much nicer,and it's still a tribute to your great-grandfather.

Waldo was the main character in a song by the Velvet Underground. He couldn't afford the fare to go to see his girlfriend so he parcelled himself up and posted himself to her. She got this great big parcel, couldn't cut through all the packing tape so plunged a sheet metal cutter into it and cut his head in half.

I'd say no personally.... :)

LTBR - Oh dear, am I getting a reputation? Please bear in mind that I am unlikely to use the vast majority of names I think of. I like them one day and hate them the next.

Rockbird -

Well I can recognise your threads easily,but I don't think that's such a bad thing,and I rather enjoy your name threads.

Walter/Walt is lovely.

I'd name him Walter and call him Waldo until he gets old enough to protest. Then switch to Wal. I'm keen on the name too because Walter is a family name on both sides.

No.
