We named my son Walker William and it fits with our last name. We really thought we were having a girl and this was a name that we played around with. I love the name. It's a bit confusing for some people because our last name is also a first name. But at least he doesn't have to spell it to people all the time. LOL Oh by the way, William covered both Grandpas... one with a first name and one with a middle name.
Famous Broadway singer and actress, Idina Menzel has a son named Walker Nathaniel Diggs born on September 2nd 2009 with ex husband Taye Diggs who she split with in late 2014. I personally love the name and think it holds a lot of character.
I don't get this name- or, more specifically, why someone would use it as a first or middle name. Walker is a surname. It just doesn't work as a first\middle name at all. Imagine naming your kid this and he turns out to be wheelchair bound? Also, Walker is a device elderly or disabled people use to help them get around. Walker: Keep it as a last name. Some surname names I like and admire. Walker just doesn't work.

Not terrible, but definitely more fitting for a last name.
I always liked this name even though it is very surnamey. Also it is the name of that table like thing people use to help them walk. Not a good association.
My favorite author is named Walker Percy. He is a true brilliant Southerner, the "Last Gentleman"! I want to name my son after him.
