Laird is a Scottish word for minor lord and is a designation that applies to an owner of a large, long-established Scottish estate. In the traditional Scottish order of precedence, a Laird ranked below a baron and above a gentleman. Wikipedia.

The meaning "landowner" in Scottish is confirmed by its use as a distinguished title in Scotland. A "Laird" is a "Lord", as in a lord of a castle. Not only a landowner, but providing parcels to be worked by those under his care. I've heard it pronounced by a true Scot when I told him my name. The reply: Ahhh, a L-air-t!, with a very proud and distinguished tone. Lairds are highly thought of in Scotland. Consider the meaning and not the piggish childishness of comparing a word to a sound-a-like, which has no bearing on it's reality.

Super ugly, and it does sound like a fat guy's name. Luckily, this name is very obscure... as it should be.

This cracked me up! It looks like Lard! I would just be like, "Hi Lard!" I'd pretend like I didn't know that his name isn't pronounced Lair-d. Man, this name is weird!

Not a big fan... I like whoever said that it is too close to lard. Agreed. I think that this would make a good villain's name, in a novel, for that reason... being cliche without really being cliche!

I think this might be a cool name, if only it didn't remind me of lard so much.
