Re: Thorwald
I prefer Louis because I usually hear it the French way and don't like Louie or Lewis as much. I'd learn to live with the ambiguity.Funny that you mentioned Baldo (I've never heard it). I was thinking if I pronounced Waldo with a V, it'd remind me of Balto (a sled dog famous for delivering medicine, made into the hero of an animated movie). Actually I feel like that just makes me more fond of it; I'll probably end up naming a dog Waldo at some point...I'd go with Torvald but it's too close to my own name.

Waldo is such a cute name for a dog! I also think fondly of Balto - I grew up with the 90s movie. I know about the backstory and how Balto took thunder away from Togo and every other dog. He was just in the right place at the right time in the aftermath for the news reporters, but I'm also fond of it for the movie and character in the movie.
