I guess I was more wondering why do the name change at all
But I’ve gone and looked it up now and apparently Wally is a less common name over there, so they changed it up to something more familiar.
Which now begs the question: is Waldo a common name over there?
I apologize. I keep reading comments like “why did you all vote for him”, so I’m quickly becoming jaded to comments at all Americans
But to answer your question, I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone with either of those names. It’s a very old game, so Waldo might have been more popular of a name here a few decades ago
It’s not common, no. But Wally is an almost unheard of name here.
