Wallis for a girl (middle name)

Hi, expecting a baby girl and thinking of Wallis as a middle name. I’m torn as to me it’s about honour my little brother who passed away this year, but I’m conscious it might remind people of Wallis Simpson, who frankly is a detestable character of recent history… thoughts and reactions?

My initial thought before I even opened the post and saw your explanation was sadly Wallis Simpson xx

Also gives Wallis Simpson initially but she’s not *that* well known these days I think. You have a different connotation and so will your friends and family around you whilst we may not. If it’s sentimental and middle I say do what your gut says it right! Honour your brother ❤️‍🩹

I have no idea who Wallace Simpson is, so 🤷‍♀️ If it's after your brother, I say go for it 😊

I know who Wallis Simpson is but I didn’t put two and two together when I first read it until you mentioned it and even then I was like meh she’s hardly talked about now. Times have moved on. I just thought it was unusual at first and was intrigued why. I think it will be lovely to honour your brother.

I also don't know who Wallis Simpson is..

Why is she detestable?

Definitely makes me think of Wallis Simpson but of course I don’t know your brother. And As a middle name it’s no problem anyway because no one will really hear it unless you tell them and you can say it’s after your brother (or she can when she’s older) also even if someone’s first name was Wallis, I’d think of Wallis Simpson but I wouldn’t think they were named after Wallis Simpson (that would be pretty random lol) I’d just think they liked the sound of that name

I'm in first thing I think of when you say Wallis is Simpson camp . But that wouldn't put me off the name It's cute

I also don’t know who Wallis Simpson is… *googles*

I have never heard of her, just googled her.. I guess I should have heard of her because I’m from the uk but I haven’t. To be honest even if I had heard of her I wouldn’t think anything bad of the name, there’s plenty of names out there associated with not so great people but what does that mean? Those names are also associated with other nice normal people.. I think it’s quite a cool middle name and nice to honour your brother

Thank you mamas ❤️ This helps

No idea who Wallis Simpson is, I once met a girl around 11 named Wallis (first name) and thought how lovely and unique it was
