William or Walden

[welshvalley]

As a first name, I would say William over Walden. However, I think Walden is a more interesting middle, and spices up Jack. I prefer the sound of William though. If I were in this naming situation, I'd look to the significance of each name. Is one an honour name? Do you like the meaning of the names? When explaining the meaning of your sons name to him, which would be more significant?

You certainly make very good points. Thanks so much for your input.

I prefer Jack William. Very handsome, strong name.

Both are lovely. I said Jack Walden because I, personally, know SIX boys/men named Jack William.
