Walter and Erotides Brandao, a couple from Paraíba in the Northeast Region of Brazil, decided to name all 15 of their children — 9 daughters and 6 sons — after their father.
Here are all 15 Walter-names:
- Walterlucia
- Walterlivia
- Walterlenia
- Walterlonia
- Walterlacia
- Walterluzia
- Walterluana
- Walterangelina
- Waltersilviana
- Waltermanuel
- Walterluis
- Walteroliver
- Waltermarcelo
- Walterlicinio
- Walterfernando
Walter passed away a few years go, but Erotides, 88, is still alive and now has 33 grandchildren “who are also called after their grandfather, after it was decided to continue the unusual tradition.”

Didn’t know that! Thanks.
I have met, some years ago, Walterlenia Brandao.
