Know any children called Walter?

[Bagging]

Do they avoid the nn Wally? What are they called instead?

In general is it easy to avoid the nn Wally?

Do kids even say 'Wally' anymore? I'm sure they can't do! I'm in my 50's and it was a playful (not nasty) comment then.

the 2 Walters I know are retirement age Walter & Walt.

I can't imagine a child in the U.K. called Walter (or Harold) but 15/20 years ago I thought Edward/George/Albert/Alfred we're not due a come back, so what do I know?!?!

No, but I know 2 dogs called Walter

My 3 year old has a friend at nursery and he's either just Walter or it's shortened to Walt.

I know a 13 year old Walter, known as Walt.

I know a 4 year old Walter, he's just Walter no nicknames

Love the name Walter….but already used it for my dog. He does get called Wally

I don't know any. Possibly because it isn't 1967.

Taught a young boy called Walter up til her was in year 2. He was called Walter throughout with no shortening.
He's about 11/12 now and he went through juniors not having it shortened to anything other than the occasional Walt. Never Wally so far.

Incidentally I teach in primary and don't think I've ever heard a child call anyone a 'Wally' for over a decade if not longer. Not sure I've even heard an adult say it for a very long time!

There is a Wally in my DS's class. Always goes by Wally. I really don't like it!

I know one. He's not a Wally.

I know a little boy Walter, known as Walts

The only Walter I know is rapidly approaching 90!

@MrsToadflax, are they British? Is the full name Walter or do they have Wally on the BC?

They are British and have Walter on the birth certificate.

One of Chris Evan's twins is a Walt.
