[Opinions] Walter
I've been reading a lot of Walt Whitman lately and the name Walter is really growing on me. The poetry is really great to read and reread and I like that this name would honor an artist I really respect and feel personally moved by. The meaning of "ruler of the army" or "strong fighter" (on some sites) is nice because to me it implies strength, courage, and independence. I also like the nicknames that go with it - Walt, Wally, or even Waldo. I feel like it's not something you hear all the time without being "out there". I've also always had a love of -er or -or ending names (like Sawyer, Taylor, Cooper, Thatcher etc.) and Walter fits that sound without being a "trendy occupation name" (so to speak). Just wondering what people's opinions of Walter are (most likely with Walt as the main nn). It doesn't bother me really that it's an "older" sounding name. People would get used to it and everyone loves a throwback...haha! Any opinions and/or possible middle name combos would be appreciated! Thanks!
