This is the name of a resort in my city. No one ever makes snide remarks about it because that's immature but as a name I wouldn't do that to a kid.

I'd use Evelyn for a son, and Humphrey would make for a perfect middle name - whereas Gertrude is the only thing I can see myself calling a future daughter. But, I'll be the first to admit that Gaylord, in all its antique glory, is off-limits. It truly is a beautiful classic with a negative modern connotation which most likely will not be undone in my lifetime. Which is a shame. Gaylord makes for such a regal name...
