It's alright. Mostly it reminds me of Yazmin (+ other spellings of that) and a few "-eed" names (like Rashid, Khalid, Sa'id, Walid), which seem fairly common as Arabic names go.

I like Yazid. It sounds strong and unique. I’d pronounce it Yah-zeed. I don’t care for Gayelynn. I’d probably shorten it to Gayle or Lynn.
Yazid is a cool name. Gayelynn... not so much.
I like Yazid! It is a cool name, I will be hapy if I meet someone who is called Yazid. I say it yah-zeed, did he say it same way?Gayelynn is horrible. I hope she nickname Lynn. Or maybe Gale. So people can call poor child different name.

Yes, I believe he pronounced it yah-zeed.
Unfortunately, I don't believe Gayelynn goes by a nickname. I like the idea of going by Gale, though.
