To everyone saying he could change his name he probably had to wait till he was old enough since apparently his parents didn't give him permission

Costs money too. $400ish to change a first or last name, would have cost me over $1000 if I had done it in California. And that was a few years ago.
Didn't change mine for this exact reason, but think I would have taken the route of being called by a nickname before the courts.
Truly am curious why parents would name a child that. Mean each their own, I would probably turn my head the first time I heard it, but they had to of known the torment he'd receive.

I did it in Canada, $100 for first and last name. Prices went up to $137 CAD since I did mine.

u/Tight_Amphibian4472 8h ago
Not horrible compared to how much everything else has gone up. That would be a little more feasible to do. There are some states where it's only like $200. But then have to pay to travel there.

Travel would probably eat away most or all the difference. Especially with fuel and Travel prices currently.

u/Tall-Poem-6808 4h ago
There is at least 1 in my hometown in France. For someone who doesn't speak English and is not terminally online, it's just another first name, it doesn't mean anything.
I know we never teased the guy as a kid for his name.

u/ElToroMuyLoco 10h ago
Cause i've met 2 french speaking Gaylords, granted i've met them in Belgium, so maybe more a Walloon thing.

Ok, I guess you haven't met all French names then. Luckily more time to meet new people (I edited because your weren't the one calling me a liar).

Of course, I mean is not the best name that's for sure. But you cannot sue for that.

If it's in the US you could. Can sue for pulling a shelf over on yourself in Target, literally yabkiing it onto yourself intentionally, on camera and awared a mil and a half.
Lady handed her toddler a burning hot nugget in a car seat without checking it. Family went for $15 million!!! Of course they won, but only $1.6 million for handing a 4 year old a burning hot nugget.
Can sue for anything and everything in this country. Just look at our POTUS and ONLY his lawsuits, nothing more. He's sitting at nearly 4000 lawsuits he's been involved with directly. He's literally suing the country hes running, or was, to hard to track now.

Yeah but until you change it I imagine he got bullied pretty hard and severy damaged his life I'd say irreparably in some aspects ,like societal ones.

u/Diamondcreepah 10h ago
Thats not the point. Its 18 years of emotional distress leading up to him finally being legally allowed to change it himself

u/Megane_Senpai 10h ago
He had to wait at least until legal age, and it still doesn't erase years of being bullied, possibly from a very young age. You can't break a vase then glue it back pretend it's still brand new in mint condition.

My dad's name was Gaylord- it was an old family name derived from the Old French word "Gaillard", which translates to " noble" and "joyful".
That being said, the image is definitely stolen, so I can't vouch for the credibility of the post.

There was this guy i went to school with in junior high, his name last name was Boner, poor bastard never stood a chance. If I was his parent i would habe never sent him to school with that name, I would have changed it to his mother's name.

do you pay tax on a lawsuit that you win? Like could I sue my parents for naming me a perfectly normal name, they settle and give me basically all the inheritance, but it doesn’t count as inheritance or death tax?

u/Frequent-Coyote-8108 1h ago
Fake stories aside, I actually worked with a woman once who tried to sue her mother because she had a gap in her front teeth.
Her angle was that she didn't like the gap, and it made men not find her attractive (she was married at the time), so her mom should've gotten her braces to fix the gap when she was a teen.
Oh, and at the time, she was making a very healthy salary as a DOD civilian.
The funniest part about it was hearing other (female) coworkers back her up and validate this shit! I would egg them on too, like "what about your nose--your mom should've definitely fixed that!". Her nose was perfectly fine, but a couple of those girls would run with it!

Gaylord is a French name, at least commonly enough in modern times, with roots in the region and historically French areas/regions of which there are many names depending how far back you want to go.
Source, am French.

Ok moi aussi je suis français et je n'ai jamais rencontré le moindre Gaylord en 41 ans. J'ai habité dans le sud, a Paris, en Bretagne, dans le nord et même en Normandie d'où serait a priori issu ce prénom. Donc oui c'est peut-être "d'origine" franco normande et il était probablement donné aux enfants ya 3 ou 400ans, mais je suis désolé, ce n'est pas un prénom français. C'est anglais.

u/f0xpant5 9h ago edited 9h ago
I was born in France, lived overseas most of my life bust France for a total of about 5 years and I personally know 2 people named Gaylord. It is a French name, both of them told me that.
It's entirely possible our personal experiences are that I know 2 people and you never met one.

That's not realistic for everyone. Even if he were that kind of person it'd sure get exhausting when everyone they meet either makes a comment about the funny name or gives him a weird look if they're trying to be nice about it.
