Does it make sense to use "Gaillard" or is that just a word?

I think it makes sense. Gaillard is a word - but, about like varlet, ruth, or tantivy is a word ... that most people have never heard, and won't.
And it's the source word for the name Gaylord, and it's a real surname.
The only concern I'd have is that people would pronounce it like a French surname (GA-YAR or something like that), rather than as GAIL'rd.

It definitely makes sense to use "Gaillard". It was the original source of the name Gaylord, and it has a fantastic sound. It's not really "just a word" any more than Hope or Faith is "just a word", yet those are very common names. I think Gaillard has a great sound.
