W...alter!

Do you think that the name Walter is suspicious? Because if you exclude the letter W is the rest can be read Alter. Do you think that J.J. Abraams gave that name on purpose or is just a coincidence?

Hah.
I applaud your observational skills.



If this is so, what significance do the other names have?

If this is so, what significance do the other names have?

William = Will I am? (alternate future?)

[trippingonclouds]

Maybe they did intend that!

Olivia = I'll leave ya (alternate universe travelling?)

[Montecito]

Nina Sharp. If you take out the p and put a k it is translated as Nina is a Shark (animal testing??)

[fringetwigs]

It may have been either intentional or coincidential but either way an interesting observation. I never would have thought of that! lol

[bookworm2342]

I would think of it as a coincidence, but really, when has Bad Robot done coincidences? With that said, I think that the names were probably just little jokes that the writers threw in.

In the spoiler's I've read, the BR team refers to the people in the alternate universe as "Over There" [character name]. We use Alter before the name on here.. soooo I think it may be a coincidence.
