   Gaylord, the gift that keeps on giving!   
      
   I was inspired to do some research myself and found among others, a   
   criminal gang!

   I wonder what they were up to during hte BLM riots?   
      
   In addition:   
      
   Gaylord is a masculine name of French origin. It stems from the word   
   gaillard, which means lively and spirited. This name calls to mind a   
   happy, boisterous baby with a true zest for life. Notable men such as MLB   
   player Gaylord Perry and former governor and environmentalist Gaylord   
   Nelson breathe new life into this traditional name. If you're looking for   
   a unique option with vibrant connotations, look no further than Gaylord.   
      
   And on top of that...   
      
      
        noun Used as a disparaging term for a gay man.   
        noun Used as a disparaging term for a foolish or inept man or boy.   
      
   It's the swiss army knife of words!   
      
   I predict that we'll see a revival in its use as a masculine name!
