Re: Walter vs Wallace
in reply to a message by Bex
1. Walter
2. Wallace has a long way to go before it even catches up to Walter's popularity (US), so I think it will continue to be less common for a long time. FWIW, I think Walter is still far from being a popular name, but YMMV.
3. Walter, by miles.
4. I don't hate Wally, but I'm not a fan. It sounds dimwitted. My four-year-old nephew was called Wally for a little while, but I'm so glad it didn't stick. He's strictly Walter or Walt now.
