Re: Over the Garden Wall

I've also been watching Gravity Falls, and the kid's name is straight-up "Dipper" in that show, so I honestly didn't think anything of "Wirt" at first, but I like that headcanon! My two younger brothers have nick-names that we've called them since they were babies, and even our parent's took to calling them that, so I can see how it spread.

Though I like the idea that maybe Greg made Wirt a gift of some sort, like, he wanted to draw on Wirt's lunchbag or something, so when Wirt got to school, he had this really embarrassing lunchbag/halloween card/something ridiculously adorable thing that said "WIRT" in big horribly-drawn letters, and someone else got their hands on it, and that's how it spread.

Man, so many good ideas for where his name came from! I like it, though, it suits him; "Edward" just doesn't in my opinion.

I haven't actually seen Gravity Falls (yet), but I thought I read somewhere that "Dipper" was a nickname because of a birthmark that looked like the Big Dipper, and his real name is an unreveal.

The present idea is adorable! Maybe Greg heard one of his parents call his brother a "worry-wart" (which definitely suits him) only he heard it as "Wirrywirt" or something and then it just became "Wirt."

You're completely right, for some reason I got it mixed up in my head, and thought that his name really was Dipper because of his birthmark, and not a nick-name because of his birthmark. It really is just a nick-name, though.

Oh my goodness, Greg hearing Wirt being called a "worry wart" is the cutest thing. I know I've seen some fic that mention that in passing, but Greg picking up on it would be super cute!
