I thought this was masculine for a quick second. Walterine is a decent 5/10. Not good, but not horribly bad either. I don’t even like Walter.

I'm hardly a fan of Walter, but Walterine just isn't for me. Walter is one of those masculine names that have no easy feminizations - and is probably better that way.

I don't like it, but just on a related note, I recently saw the name Waltonia in a newspaper article from 1909.

I think it's so weird and reminds too much Catherine. I dislike as a feminine form of Walter.

It sounds like wall tureen to me...the tureen by the wall...

I think Waltara, Waldra, Velda, Waltrelle, Waltrina, Waltrinela, or Wallis might look slightly more approachable, but if I was honoring a Walter, I'd maybe just use Walter as the MN even for a girl.

I'm a little bias to the name Walter because it is DH's middle name. Not real sure I would use Walterine though. Interesting name to say at the least. I might use a female name that has the same meaning as Walter though.

walter + Saltine

I love saltines! They're a brand of crackers where I live. I like this name, and now I want Saltines.

I've never seen Walterine, and I hope I never see it again. It is clumsy, unattractive and unconvincing. Where did you find it?

fail ...

It's awful. If you have an Uncle Walter to honor, there's a million other nicer ways to do it than naming a poor girl Walterine.
Walterine sounds like some weird mid-20th century material. Like to make durable bathroom fixtures or easy-clean carpet.
