[Opinions] Re: Yes...

Of course, the trouble is that unintuitive Gaylord nn Greg would be even more associated with Meet the Parents, which adds another level of teasing potential/general no.
I think a name that you have to think of a good nickname for because the kid isn't going to want to go by the full name...well, that kinda proves the name's a bad idea. It's one thing if it's a name they simply don't like, like Marilyn who will only answer to Mem or Lily (my best friend). But in this case, we all know that almost any Gaylord, not just one specific Marilyn, would be bugged by the name and probably insist on a nearly unrelated nickname. So...probably not a great name to be giving to a kid.
