Most Americans could name at least one famous Waldo, Ralph Waldo Emerson. Okay maybe not most anymore, people are dumb, but if you said the name then the literate ones might know he was a poet. I don't think I've ever met anyone named Wally or even heard of someone with the name, not even as a nickname.
