«Walkman» est une marque déposée. Le succès de l'objet a provoqué le dépôt d’autres noms de marques tels que : Run Man, Young Man, Joggy, Stereoboy, etc. Équivalent, en tant que terme générique : sonambule. Dans cet équivalent se retrouvent les deux composants qui caractérisent l'appareil, une musique que l'on écoute en marchant. Le jeu de mots entre «sonambule» et «somnambule» est voulu : il évoque l'attitude de celui qui utilise l'appareil. 3, record 1, French, - baladeur
