"Love the name Wallace and I don't find it grandad-ish. People are bringing back the "old names" like Fredrick, Dudley, George, even Henry. So many people are going back to using family names from loved ones." Jan. 8, 2015:
"Too strong to be a girls name. Nothing feminine about it. One should know if you consider choosing Wallace for your baby's name is that in most countries all over the world the name ?Wallace? is used as a boy name.
The name Wallace is of Celtic - Gaelic origin, and is found to be used mostly in English speaking countries but also in a few other countries and languages of the world.
If you consider naming your baby ?Wallace? you should pay attention to the special meaning and history of the name as your baby?s name will play a big role in its life and will hear it forever.
With the old grandparent names doing a turnaround, Wallace has a hipness and Wally makes an adorable retro-style nickname. Also stylish for the nickname Ace. Goes great with Nicholas, Thomas, William, Allice, Mallory, Allicyn, and many other sibling names! Not as common and over used as the name William!

"I used Wallace as a middle name in 1986 when I named my son Cameron Wallace. It was my maiden name. My son likes it because of the movie Braveheart, where Sir William Wallace was the hero. I must say he lives up to the "Braveheart" legacy!!! Very courageous and brave in difficult circumstances!" Jan. 26, 2010:

"My first name is Wallace. I've always HATED it. Growing up with an off-beat name like this made me feel weird and strange. It definitely has had a negative impact on me. It's a fine surname, but NOT as your first name. My middle name is also a surname, so I didn't have a backup, except Wally, which I also HATE;it sounds like a silly kids' name. Parents, please don't do this to your kid!" Sep. 6, 2021:

"Sounds grandad-ish as a boy's name but cool as a girl's name, a la Stanley or Murray. For girls, it is often spelt Wallis - which was once tied to the Duchess of Windsor AKA Mrs Simpson but chosen in 2000 by 'ER' actor Anthony Edwards for one of his twin daughters." Jun. 17, 2008:
