Gerard Manley Hopkins, the poet, is another famous bearer: "Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet!"

Mel Gibson's middle name is Gerard. I'm no judge of men or anything but if I were a female I'd be way more into him than that sissy from MCR.

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.

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.

It's a nice name.

I have to admit I wouldn't like the name if it wasn't for the vocalist in the band My Chemical Romance.

I like this name because it has a nice sound and presence. It reminds me of a charmer.

The first name of Gerard Pitts, who was more often called by his surname, a character from the movie "Dead Poets Society". He was played by James Waterston.

Pronounced "JER-ahrd" in Britain.

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 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 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.

Spanish footballer Gerard Piqué (born 2nd of February 1987) is a famous bearer. He currently plays for FCBarcelona and the national spanish football team as a center back.

I really love this name, and I've never heard of Gerard Way. xD I just love how different it is.

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.

Gerard ter Borch (December 1617 – 8 December 1681) was a Dutch genre painter, who lived in the Dutch Golden Age.

Gerard Christmas (1576-1634) was an English sculptor and designer. He had two sons: John and Matthias.

Gerard Warren is an American football player.

This name makes me think of Gerard Way and all his emo fangirls. Blech.
