What do you think of Wallace?

[kaddi2012]

What do you think of Wallace as a boy's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder.

Fine.

Especially if you have a Yorkshire accent and like wensleydale.

And gromit

Sorry don't like it

Well, if calling your child Wally feels like a good idea to you.........

Bound to be Wally -and forever connected with 'where's Wally' or Gromit.

What about it as a girls name? Like Wallace Simpson? I think that's rather classy actually. not that i'd use it though.....

Or even Wallis Simpson .

As a name there is too much association with Gromit, so it's a no from me.

oh ok, Bun!

... and Gromit

Its even worse now that Wallace reminds everyone of Ed Milliband.

Sorry.

I think it's lovely!

Gromit, sorry

I know a very nice adult Wallace. No issues with the name.

Gromit.
Simpson.

Neither good.

I like it but be prepared to get load so of Gromit questions

Don't do it to the kid.

"I like it but be prepared to get load so of Gromit questions"

So the parent had better be prepared for lots of Gromit questions. What about the child? Does he just have to suck it up?

Wallis Simpsons first name was Bessie. Her middle name was Wallis but used in the way that people sometimes have surnames as middle names

And Gromit.

Sorry - first thing to spring to mind.

Yes and then call your next child Gromit. Hours of fun..! :)

Sorry, I'm another who immediately thought of "gromit" and nothing else.
Something with a less obvious association might be kinder.
