  3. I have a 5 year old little boy named Walden! At first we worried about such a mature name for such a tiny human, but it fits him so well! He’s in third grade math classes this year (just started preschool! But got bumped up) he’s funny, charming and energetic! We use the nicknames: Wally, Walls, Wally-pop, and Dub (short for W).
    It’s so neat to see there are other Waldens out there being awesome too!

  4. Named after Walden Pond. We love that it’s not out there much, it’s a very charming name for our sweet boy.
