wally

A diminutive of the male given names of Waldo, Walter, Wallabee, and Wallace.

• "'Mr. Szalla' is my eighty-two-year-old father, Nikki. Please call me 'Wally'." "Well. 'Wally'." I felt my face burn pleasantly. "Wally" was such a comfortable old-shoe kind of name.

The trophy awarded to winners of an NHRA national event (named after founder Wally Parks).
