It makes me think of Walker, Texas Ranger. My dad is a fan of that show.

Well, I'm in too deep with The Walking Dead, so the name is synonymous with Zombies for me :-| Aside from the undead, the next association I have for it is Scotch, which isn't necessarily unpleasant. The name definitely has a country type vibe for me as well.

Not a huge fan, depending on how it's used, I guess. I'm wary of the Western feeling names; I'm picky with how they can end up decent or overly trendy.

Walker has a more mature sound than some others, I guess. Like Wesley. Or Tyler. Blech. I'd pair it with something that plays that up, like
Walker Abraham
Walker Charles
Walker Norman
Walker Philip
Walker Richard

I think of walkers. Pedestrians, mobility devices, zombies, toddlers, breast cancer awareness marchers.
It isn't namey.
It plods.

It needs a middle name that's not first-namey either, otherwise the combo sounds like Walker is a title or description, or a command.

Walker Alexandrinus
Walker Maxwell
Walker Ignatius

Sorry to say but "Walker" is a type of name I ONLY see as a surname. As First or middle name, it just doesn't work in my opinion. What comes to mind with this name is:

---

A common surname
Imagine naming your kid this who turns out to be wheelchair bound (get it?)
A device to help the elderly, disabled or injured get around

---

OK, I admit, as a middle its not as bad but as a first, I really don't see it working

One of the less attractive surnames-as-first-names. A walker is what an old person uses to help get around, or a TV Texas Ranger.

I don't hate Walker! I feel like I should, but I actually like it!

What about

Walker Felix
Walker Elias
Walker Jude
Walker Balthasar
Walker Henry
Walker Barnaby
Walker Gideon
Walker Tobin
Walker Darcy
Walker Magnus
Walker Vincent
Walker Tobias
Walker Quinten
