I actually know a two-year-old named Walter. I thought and still think it's hard to genuinely imagine a young kid in 2022 named Walter. The name, I know, was given in honor, of someone, but I personally think it would have been more fitting as a middle name.

I do think the name reads as older, but I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with it, just a bit dated.

---

I don't associate the "rural hillbilly" image with the name. I have issues with that stereotype, first of all, but also it's a name common enough that while undoubtedly there are people named Walter who fit that image, there's also military men, Hollywood legends, even a vice president of the United States who share that name as well.
