Walt’s brother or sister…

[Calmondeck]

Here we go again - a positive pregnancy test and the first thing on my mind is “what am I going to call him/her?!”

For anyone playing along, DH and I really struggled naming our first. Our gorgeous little guy Walt is growing into his name but it certainly feels like he’ll be the only Walt this century.

We’re going to start our thinking earlier this time… I think we like short, strong names… but who knows

Minnie or Mickey?

Joan
Joy
Kate
Ruth

Mark
Luke
Gus
Norman

You named your child Walt?!

His sibling then could be:
Huey, Luey, Pluto or Popeye

Walt as a full name is rare, but not unheard-of. And Walter is increasingly popular, so there will likely be some little Walters out there who go by Walt: https://names.darkgreener.com/#walt

Other short, strong names:

Ann(e)
Blake
Blair
Blythe
Eve
Faith
Grace
Greer
Hope
Hugh
James
Jay
Joel
June
Kai
Lark
Lee
Maeve
May
Neil/Niall
Niamh
Noel
Paige
Paul
Quinn
Ray
Rose
Sage
Saul
Teague
Wren

My initial thought was Wilf... Walt and Wilf!

Joan/Jean
Maurice/Norris
Marigold
Hector
Benedict
Agnes

She's clearly said his name is Walt. She wasn't asking for opinions on the name Walt so you don't need to be rude about it!

Awww, I know a Walt! Walter. He’s 12.

So… sister’s name:

Pearl
Tallulah
Hannah
Melissa (Missy)
Francine or Frances
Ada
Ines
Clementine (Clem)
Tabitha
Katherine (Kitty)
Imogen
Molly
Heidi
Alma
Marion
Serena

Brother:

Winslow
Edgar
Homer
Hugo
Rex
Blake
Finn
Otis
Amos
Jethro
Jude
Atticus
Nils
Clive

Ha only one person irl has made a Disney related comment but interesting to see so many comments online. We got a surprise when we announced Walt’s name how many friends/family sent through Walt Whitman quotes or gave us books. We got nothing Disney related (though this could be politeness I guess. Walt is a Walter but day to day we call him Walt. Will keep in mind Mickey and Minnie though!

Ayrton
Jude
Dane
Quinn
Wade
Weston
Kalman
Louis
Marcus

Briar
Sylvie
Pearl
Frances
Olive
Victoria
Astrid
Una

Walter seems really popular around here. I know a Walter with a brother; Barnaby and one with a Rupert.

Dennis (the Menace)

I had a great uncle Walter. His siblings were Rodney and Alfred. I think there's a Barry, John and Arthur in there somewhere too.

Martha or Mabel.Walt and either of those; quite picket-fence middle America.

Goodness 😅picket-fence. Maybe I should’ve titled this “we failed naming our first child, what’s a good unrelated name for our second?”

Thanks for some of the good suggestions, we really like Anna, Ada, Jude and Finn.

Walter and

Please ignore other posters. I love the name Walter, but then it was my great grandad's name. It's not your fault that such a lovely name has become synonymous with Disney!

I think another classic name would match:

Girl:
Alice

Boy:
Richard
James

I like Walter/Walt and I like it with

Sydney (m/f)

Albert
Ernest
Francis/Frank

Ada
