Big African lady. Excellent value. I get a lot of brilliant names in my line of work. Danish Butt, Anderson Bevilacqua, Bogdan Pop...

Bogdan is one of my personal favourites, Bogdan is a truly delightful one to say out loud

Bruno is my favourite name. I would call myself Bruno if I could.

Good idea! It would be a great Hobbit name as well.

I am puzzled by the continuation of the name "Gaylord" in a culture of persistent homophobia (other than in cinematic childish humour) but I understand it does not mean what the infantile mind assumes, the root being "gaillard" (strong) in Old French.
