Personal experiences with the name Whittaker: | Edit

Our Son is named Whittaker we call him Whit for short. It is unusual enough that people often comment on how "cool" it is, but not so far out there that no one is able to figure it out when calling names off a ledger. The only problem we have had is because it is traditionally a surname he is sometimes called in the Dr.'s office by his middle name.
