I much prefer
Gerard,
Gerald does nothing for me.
My favorite name dream was where I was working in a nursery and a male nurse needed a name for a baby, and I (very excitedly) suggested
Agathangelos.
Love that both in and out of my dream. However, the nurse cut the name in half and gave the baby a middle name...
He ended up being named
Agath Jephrey Angelos . Jephrey's weird (I think it's because I kept seeing an ad for a band on Facebook and the bassist(?) was called Jeph), and I wish the name hadn't been split.
