At first I thought I might be mis-remembering the name of the protagonist of *The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", but his first name is definitively "Arthur", and I don't see evidence of it having been changed in any of the various incarnations of that series. - SapIr On Fri, Oct 20, 2017 at 06:45:15PM +0000, Steven Boozer wrote:
I did find one possibility online in a review of Zachary Wheeler’s _Max and the Multiverse_ (described as a “a young adult science fiction novel”) :
I hope Max makes it farther in the galaxy than Walter Dent ever dared to explore! < http://www.larc-scifi.com/MaxandtheMultiverse.html >
Anyone recognize this?

I had the same thought when the word got released, but so far I haven't found any Walter Dents who seem famous enough to be a reference. It might just be someone Okrand knows personally. (Or it's something else entirely and it's only coincidence that it looks like "walter" backwards.)
