It's pretty bland, in my opinion, not good or bad. However, the nickname Wally makes me shudder.

Nope sorry, i really really don't like it at all. When i think of the name Wallace i think of my old music teachers surname. I think of the name Wallace as a surname only.

I don't like it all. It sounds very old-fashioned and I'd bet a boy named Wallace would get called "Wally" all the time. Which could be embarrassing.Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I like it a lot. This is where a surname works nice as a fn or mn.
Montgomery, and Spencer are two others I think make good f or mn's*************************************************

That's funny, since I plan on using Montgomery as a middle name. And, I like Spencer. :)

You got great taste. Weird because they are the only surnames I like as names.

Makes me think of the grocery store chain Wallace & Owens.

About 6 years ago I met a 3 year old girl named Wallace Ann (double first name) and i'd have to say I didn't like it! She's probably about 9 now i'd say.I think it'd be good on a boy though!Auntie to: Robert, Brady, Juliana & Sophia.

Wallace? Like Wallace and Grommit?
Like nn Wally?
Like Sir Willam Wallace?
Well...It's okay but not the best...could be better.
It could be spelled Wallis which seems a little bit nicer to me. *shrug* Sorry! Not a big fan...

It's not my favorite, but I still like it and think that it is cute. It reminds me of the Meg's little brother in Madeline L'Engles A Wrinkle in Time. The little boy was extremely intelligent and sensitive.

I don't care for it. Cute for a dog or cat but not for a person. It's too old fashioned for my tastes.

I'm not sure if I like it. It reminds me of the cartoon that's in theatres now, Wallace and Grommit (I've never seen it). It's not that I have a negative feeling towards it, but I don't have quite a positive one either.

While its not a huge favourite of mine, its still a pretty decent name. Very few Wallaces out there, its quite unique in its own right.

I love it.I'd use it myself, if it wasn't because it would be strange in Denmark, with a Danish kid named Wallace. Which is strange, due to me not being concerned about that, but then again I could use it as a mn. Or a second mn in my case, since I love combos with three fn's.Anyway. Enough about me babbling, so back to you. :-PYou should use it, since it fits more where you are, if you decided on it of course. And again I love it and it's one of my faves.
