Oooh, such a hard choice! They're all SO nice!!!
I think I might actually choose Gaylord Horance Egbert, and combine all 3. I just can't choose between them!

Gaylord! Egbert, to the modern ear, is a name that is tantamount to abuse! ;-)
When your little boy is in the 5th grade {about age 10}, he most likely will be teased about the "Gay" part of his name, though.
However, Egbert was popular about 200 years ago. The last Egbert I heard about was Egbert R. Morrow. He changed it to Edward when he was six. You know Edward R. Morrow---the famous radio broadcaster from the 1940s.

LoL. Those are some unique names. I have never heard of Egbert. Horance sounds amazing though. But Gaylord seems like a name easily made fun of. I have a unique name too. Elon pronounced Ay-lin. If you're going to give him a unique name just make sure it's pronounced like it is spelled and that it doesn't make you want to laugh when you hear it. Trust me it sucks..... a lot.

I personally liked Gaylord but other kids might call him "gay".
Theres Gabriel.
Horance is pretty cool.
Egbert reminds me of eggs and bert from sesame street.

Let's see... little Gaylord would be called "Gay". Egbert I didn't know that was a real name. Well he will get called "Egghead" and the only nicknames for our tyke Hortence is "Horey" or worse "Hore" even spelt like that looks of ill repute. Please say you're kidding. Naming your child any of these is abusive.

I don't fancy either of the names much, but if I HAD to, I would pick Horance.
Egbert reminds me of eggs which I don't like.
Gaylord reminds me of Meet the Fockers.

unless gaylord is a family name, I would go with the other ones. It would save the child from future teasing...

none of the above, unless you want your kid to have no life at all. Especially Gaylord
was that a serious question?
