Re: WDYTO Walter?
in reply to a message by Kate
Walter is cute with the nn Walt. It's very old-fashioned and is not a name you hear on younger children nowadays. There is another name like this, Stanley nn Stan, that I've been starting to like. It has the same things going for it. An old-fashioned name that you don't hear very often.

I know a guy who is now twenty-five named Stanley. Once in a while someone refers to him as Stan, but for the most part he's Stanley. It always struck me as a little nerdy, but maybe if it was used more often it would shed that image. Stanley himself isn't nerdy at all.

Yes, I also have heard of people in their 20s, 30s, and older with the name Stanley, but I meant that you don't see that many Stanleys who are under 5 years of age.
