Soooo great and I can't see ANYONE despising this name. It's cute, handsome, and wonderful all at once! I just can't explain how great it is! And also Saint Gerard, pray for us!
For some reason, this name gives me an impresssion of some older, offsetting and grouchy type of man. I just can't picture a Gerard fitting on some goofball, people person.

Awesome name. It sounds great, it's traditional, and gives the connotation of masculinity and dignity, with a hint of culture.
Very classic, very handsome. It is somewhat of a family name (that was used in past generations). I like it. Great as a middle name, too-- "Daniel Gerard" has a nice ring to it.

I really love this name, and I've never heard of Gerard Way. xD I just love how different it is.
I first heard of this name because of Gerard Way, but didn't really care for it at first. But it quickly grew on me, and it's now one of my favorite boy names. I think it sounds pretty, and at the same time masculine, and I adore the nickname Gee (but I can't stand the nickname Gerry)! I'm glad that this name did not have a huge boost in popularity caused by My Chemical Romance, and although I enjoy MCR as a band, I'm not a huge Gerard Way fan, and my liking of this name isn't because of him.
I didn't mind this name until Gerard Way came along and ruined it for me! (okay, maybe not. But I would never name my child this in fear of him being associated with Mr. Way).
I wouldn't know of this name without the lead singer of MCR, but I still hate it. I'm not a guy, but if I had that name, I would change it as soon as I could!
I love this name, mostly because it's a traditional male name in my family. I must say, all of the drooling fangirls of MCR are ruining the quality of this name. Nothing against MCR, their music is actually pretty good, but no matter what the lead singers name was, it'd be the same deal. They'd just like the name because it belonged to someone "hot". Pathetic.

I'm not a huge fan of Gerard Way but at least he didn't make Passion Of The Christ. Um, other than that pair, I guess it's an okay name, but kind of a lot of Rs. Although my full name is absolutely full of Rs so I'm one to talk.
