If your surname name was Towers you'd have to go for AltonWinkGrin

I like Walter and Christian. One as first name, the other as middle. Alton is a place name.

Agree with above Walter or Christian, bare in mind your child might get wally jokes though

@SpringSpringTime

Yes, that was very powerful, indeed.
It did make me feel very sad.

As for Walter, Alton or Christian, I will take Christian.

Aclh13 · 10/06/2020 02:24

Confused the link shows nothing what are you on about?

Kokeshi123 · 10/06/2020 02:34

I can't get rid of the Walter Softy or Alton Towers connotations.

Christian is a great name.

Stillamum3 · 10/06/2020 02:50

Christian only works if you are!

Kokeshi123 · 10/06/2020 03:05

Not really. None of the "Christians" I know come from religious families.

Nachonacho · 10/06/2020 03:17

Love Walter! Not keen on the others, sorry Confused

Einszwei · 10/06/2020 04:08

How about Alden instead of Alton?

MittensTheSerpent · 10/06/2020 16:59

Are you asking opinions on the names, or discussing the powerful message on the homepage? Weird (and insensitive) to combine the two.

17caterpillars1mouse · 10/06/2020 19:59

I love Christian nn Kit

And love Walt but couldn't get myself to live Walter

Thanks for sharing the link OP. It’s a nice thing that the website has done. I was a bit sad to see there was someone called Malice however.

@MittensTheSerpent I was trying to direct people to the link but it didn’t quite work.
