Talk:Walter

We have a musician named Gotye, born Walter De Backer, who also goes by the Belgian form Wouter, where the french version of the name appears to be Gauthier, thus the creative morphing into Gotye. Is any of this sourceable?Mercurywoodrose (talk) 08:20, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Walter, Wouter and Gauthier are indeed the English, Belgian Dutch (Flemish) and French forms of the same name. The pronunciation of Gauthier could be represented phonetically by Gotye.
