What goes with Walter?

[CheshireDing]

Not sure whether it's a boy or girl but we pretty much have a girls name agreed.

We can't think of anything suitable for a middle name for Walter, our surname begins with a K and DD has the middle name of Arabella so we would like something in keeping/along with same lines.

On our list last time was George Hugo if DD had been a boy but I'm not sure Walter Hugo works?

Any thoughts?

I always thought Walter Gabriel was a fantastic name :)

[BNmum]

Theodore Walter would work too

[BNmum]

If you like teddy as nn have you thought about Theodore as full name? The meaning is nice too - gift of god

My grandad was Walter Robert

Thanks for your thoughts everyone, seems a name with extreme opinions [bugrin]

Yes initials that nearly spelt wanker wouldn't be so good. George is just getting too popular now though. Same with Archie, Charlie, Harry.

I do like Teddy as a nn but am not crazy about Edward as his official name.

[Ruprekt]

Just think it through as a name is a big deal ( i know you know that)

Poppy and Walter.......makes me think of the wimpy one from Dennis the Menace.

Cannot imagine an 8 yr old called Walter or a 15 yr old called Walter......am not sure if I would have dated someone called Walter (shallow)

Op, I also think Walter and Walt and very cool names. Like the Walter Thomas suggestion also life your Walter Hugo, the film is only just out, but I'd go for it.

[Viviennemary]

I immediately thought Mitty. But Walter it's just such a dated, dreadful old-fashioned unattractive name. Please think again.

[AnonymousBird]

Walter Peter Paul K..... would be uber cool..... [buwink]

[DesertOrchid]

My great-grandfather was Walter Joseph, and his son was Joseph Walter, so I reckon that goes :-)

[AnonymousBird]

Be VERY careful - initials W.K. just leads to Wanker nicknames when he is older. Especially if you put an A or an N in the middle!!!!!!

What is wrong with George, your choice from before?

[fanjodisfunction]

Its a nice name and I think Walter Hugo goes well. And think Walt is very cool.

[DrSeuss]

Where's?

[Zamboni]

Walter James
Walter Sebastian

For what it is worth, I dont like first name and middle name to have the same number of syllables, so with Walter, I'd go for something with 1 or 3 syllables. But that's just me [bugrin]

[Jeggie]

I know a little Walter and he is a very cool dude err walter james? Walter John? I would go simple myself.

[KittenOfDoom]

Well I like it, and I just don't understand why people are sneering. It's a fine and noble name.

It is unfortunate that one of its nn's has been used as a derogatory term (but not a really nasty one). However there is an alternative shortening that has no baggage, and there is no need to shorten it anyway. My granddad was always Walter, no one ever called him Wally.

[legalalien]

Walter George? Walter John?

Don't go for anything starting with C.

Fwiw brings to mind Walt Whitman.
