Stanley or walter

[Changedmynameo]

And why (if a reason comes to mind)

Sorry OP I don't like either. If I had to pick I would go for Stanley.

Not Walter. Some names should not be returned to fashion!

I know a 2yr old Stanley, but don’t rate the name. He’ll grow into it in about 70 years though...

I know quite a few Stanley's. Think it might become more popular. My friend with a Stanley also has a Wilfred.

How about Victor ?

I like them both, they make a refreshing change!

I love Walter. My great grandad was Walter and he was the loveliest man. And Walt Disney Roo!

What a wally!

I'd go for Stanley myself.

Stanley is super popular where I am, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Walter is a step too far in the old name chic for me.

They are dreadful. There's hundreds of Stans and Walter the softy just no

I think of Stanley as being quite retro cool, probably because I know a teenage one.

Walter is just awful. You can't give a child a name which has the diminutive wally, you just can't.

My grandad was stanley and he wore a flat cap and owned a whippet. But...I know the name is in fashion again, so why not have it?

We have a Walter in our family. I thought it was a joke at first but I do love it now and it suits him.

Walter. Stanley is too common now.

Niether. They are both awful. I hate this trend for ugly old men's names for baby boys. A friend of a friend has just called for little boy Wilfred. Why would you do that to your innocent child?

Walter, as in Walter White from Breaking Bad? Go for it!

isthismummy, I was just coming on to say that if DD2 had been a boy we'd have used Walter or Wilfred.

I quite like both, I know a few Lorrie Stanleys so would probably pick Walter.

*little Stanleys!

I've got a toddler Wilfred, it's a blimmin' fantastic name. Lots of Stanleys round these parts, but no Walters...

Sorry to everyone that hates the idea but an old man name is EXACTLY what I'm going for. These are the final two (more likely to be Stanley).
It's just that I'm down to these two and I'm a bit "meh" about them. I don't LOVE them but I don't like anything else☹️

I know a lot of Stanley’s
Walter would be nicer I think

There are lots of little Stanley’s now so don’t choose it if you think it will be an unusual choice.

Ernest? Baby Ernie?

They’re both dreadful. Please don’t do it to your child

Isthismummy - I think you are a bit out of fashion on baby names - Wilfred is really popular now (and lovely!)!
