[Opinions] Re: Gaylord
I think that if there are two movies out that make the name the butt of a running joke, it's probably not a good idea. Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers are pretty well known movies, and it is a running jokes through both that the male protagonist is named Gaylord. Even if the name in question were Barry, if there is that much history and popular usage of teasing with it, it's going to automatically be harder to use for real. I'd find something else, difficult though it may be.

It was an exampleAs I said, it doesn't matter if a name has such explicit teasing potential inherit or not, the fact that there are two movies which use the name as the butt of jokes makes it difficult to take seriously.
