Nobody answer me Is learning english unfashionable or its me posting just terrible texts? You are broking my heart folks! XD

Where is Wally?? It seems very curious to me the fact about this character be so called Waldo in english. I say that because I used to read this books on my childhood and know him as Wally and Wally is not a common brazilian name, wich means that I am used to think that it's the english version. So the first time I heard "where is Waldo" I thought "why, whyy Waldo?", for my ears it sounds less english than Wally. Why these guys resolved to translate Wally to Waldo? Are these common names of people now a days? Could anyone explain it? Silly question, I know, but for training english it does the job. Then, if you prefer to ignore the subject and just point the errors... no problem! Although I would appreciate to discover this mistery. regards!
