My cousin is Walter, he is ~30.

I like Walter. I wouldn't use it, but it's not bad.

I think it's a fine name! Solid, not made up or spelled funny. Good choice.

I agree its a fine name.  NMS, and reminds me of breaking bad..but if YOU love it..go for it.

Do you know how many people gave me a hard time about Whitney? "straight out of the 80's!!"  "Whitney Houston?! Ick!"

I love it, its her...and I wouldn't change a thing.

This cracks me up as it appears that OP's first name just might be Whitney, owing to the Bump handle. As a Whitney myself, I say -- nice name choice! (P.S. Your daughter is adorable.)

lol- I'm a Whitney too. My parents went so far as to name me Whitney Elizabeth- and it turns out that her middle name is Elizabeth too x.x They claim they didn't know but I have my suspicions -shifty eyes-

Anyhow. Walter is a cute name. I only knew one in high school and he hated his name so much that he went by Derick instead.

Walter is a fine name.  The first association I have with it is Walt from Lost.

Thanks! Yeah, I wondered if OP's name was actually Whitney too.

I got so much flack from my name choice. It was between Whitney and Natalie.  No way she looks like a Natalie now. lol

DS almost got Walter for a MN. It was my grandpa's name. I think its cute. If you are unsure have you considered for a MN? I think it flows nicely with many first names. I think its a good first name too though.

I love Walter. A little guy called Walt or Wally just makes my heart melt.
