I was going to be named Gaston (pronounced "Gas-ton") or George (which is a name my mom thought was funny!) I'm SO happy I got named after my Dad instead! My name isn't the greatest, but I'm thankful I don't have those names. Also, I love my Dad, and I like that I'm the 4th generation of my name.
Thank God!

Author Gabrielle-Suzanne de Villeneuve (28 November 1695 - 29 December 1755) used this name for the main antagonist of her most notable book, Beauty and the Beast.
The name Gaston is also used for the Tritagonist of the British Animated Series, Ben & Holly's Little Kingdom, in which Gaston is a Red, Black-Spotted Ladybird who resembles the qualities of a Dog, for example: He barks, pants when he's happy and loves fetching sticks.
Gaston Bachelard (27 June 1884 - 16 October 1962) was a French philosopher. He made ground-breaking contributions toward the field of poetics and the philosophy of science, the latter of which he introduced the concepts of epistemological obstacle and epistemological break.

Omg Wilted that was the best comment ever. I was going to say something like that :')
I know a Gaston. Then again, I spend a lot of time in France. Although I don't think it would do well in the English-speaking world.

It sounds nice, but it makes me think of the arrogant guy from Beauty and the Beast, thus it will lead to teasing. I wouldn't use it.
