how many of you?

how many of you care for "old man" names? Walter is a strong front runner for a boy if we have another one. It would be a middle name

DS' MN is Douglas.

I think Walter as a MN is a great choice.

Other friends of ours have given 'old man' names for MN as well...

Morris, Arthur, Franklin, George

Walter was my Grandfathers name :) 

I think it would make a fine middle name.

I think it is a good MN. If it helps I don't think it's an "old man" name.

And I think it's one of the most "old man" names out there! lol Funny how we all have differing opinions.

I really don't like Walter. But I do like some other names that could be considered "old man" names such as Harrison and Davis.

It probably has to with with having dated a Walter. He was the III so his father and grandfather had the same name. It just doesn't seem as dated as some of the others do. At least to me.

I only like a few, Walter doesn't fall on my list of likes though. I think maybe I just have a bad association with the name though

I know of a little boy named Walter. He's the cutest. I wouldn't pick the name personally but I like it.

I love them. My favorites are Walter, Arthur, and George. DH is less of a fan, so they would be relegated to MNs most likely.

I like old man names. However, my hubby is determined to name our child's Dean if it's a boy and that's one I'm having a hard time getting on board with. I keep telling him it's a great middle name! Haha

Me - 32, DH - 32. We have been TTC #2 since January 2012.
BFP on 12/3/12, EDD 8/19/13, U/S 1/17/13 showed blighted ovum, d&c 1/24/13

I love nerdy boy names. My DH jokes that all my favorites sound like kids who will get beat up on the playground. Walter is definitely on my list of nerdy boy names, so I like it!
