I really like Walter, and I like the nn Walt. I had a chem teacher in high school whose first name was Walt. We often called him that, affectionately, behind his back (one would never have called him that to his face or treated him affectionately to his face either, because he was and is quite fond of giving the impression that he is mean and grouchy and often refers to his students as "you bunch of slugs/sheep" but we all loved him.) Anyway, yes, Walter. Great name. Underused. I am in favor of Walter.
