I know someone who used this name but Walker is a prominent last name in our community so I wouldn't have used it personally. That aside, I think it's ok.

It's ok.  I am not a big fan of using last names as first names.

I actually like it. Taye Diggs named his son Walker and also Ray Allen.  I have a friend who always wanted to name their boy Wheeler and call him Wheels...

It wouldn't be my number one choice, but I don't hate it.

This is my brother's name, but he went by Will/Willie as a little kid. He goes by his full name now. It was my mother's grandmother's surname.

I'm not a fan of last names as first names in general but Walker I really dislike.  The only nn I can think of is Wally which I also dislike.

Immediately makes me think of The Walking Dead- they call the zombies "walkers".

Love it. It would've been my top name choice if it didn't sound awful with our last name :)

Sometimes I'm bothered by the "last name used as a first name" thing, but this one doesn't strike me as a problem.

In fact, I sort of have a happy memory associated with this name.  When I was in the hospital having my DD, the woman in the room with me on the 2nd day was having her fourth child.  She had 2 boys and one girl already at home, and the little girl (who was 5) was hoping for a sister.  I remember this other mom on the phone with her DD, breaking the news to her that the baby was a boy.

"I know you wanted a sister, but you and I will have lots of fun playing with baby Walker.  You'll help me take care of him, right?"

It was SO cute, and I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the name Walker since that day.  Somewhere today, that Walker is 12 and his older sister is 17 now -- wow!

I know a Walker. I think it's a cute name. He sometimes goes by Walks

Don't hate it. Don't love it. A very whatever name for me.

Texas Ranger comes to mind immediately.  Other than that I actually like it.
