Ah, I see you are thinking of a cognate of the High German Word Gerte "crop (whip)" as a potential source of gard. At least in High German, this IS feminine.I think it is a cognate of English garden, High German Garten in the sense "protected place". The latter word is masculine in High German. I see this leaves something to argue about the names' gender.
