Anything you add would change the word period. What you have written there can only mean 'Walter'. Adding anything would be the equivalent of doing this in english: "Walter" -> 'Walterk' or 'Waltery' etc. If you want to say walter, keep it exactly the same.

I think he means obtain another word that has a meaning, not a fantasy word.
But I can't think of any :O

If you start with ウォルター and replace ル with ー, you get ウォーター, which is a katakana version of "water."

Every word or character you would add to it would change it totally.

Nothing you add to it will make it a better meaning or word in Japanese because "Walter" is not a native Japanese word.

That's like asking "What can I add to Shinichi to make it a better word in English?"

Well, you could drop the "ichi" and end up with "shin"
