I was skimming through the BAs in yesterday's paper and saw "Walter Ellis *surname*" between the Braydons and Aidens and all those trendy things. I was really surprised and happy to see Walter used. WDYT?

I'm not a fan of Walter but I think Ellis is great. I agree, though, that the combo is refreshing to see.

I'm very happy. Walter is such a distinguished, handsome name. Walter Ellis sounds like a scholar. :)

I don't know where you live but it could be a cultural thing. Here in Alaska new parents will often name their newborn after the last person in the family line or tribe to die. Therefore, we get a lot of little Walters, Ethels, Marthas, Franklins, etc. I think it is cool. I love to see the older "new" names among all the Jaydens and Kylies.
