1. Does having "gai" in it make it unusable, even though it's not prounounced like Gaylord or Galen?
2. Will it surge in popularity because of Battlestar Galactica, even though the character is so unsavory? Will anyone care or know that it was also Julius Caesar's first name?
3. In terms of its Latin origin, this is really the same name as Caius. Which do you like?
4. WDYT of the name?
My opinion: I love the sound and the idea of this name, but I don't think I'd be able to shake how pretentious it seems.

I'm ROSE, though, and I always think people are saying my name when they're saying "gross" even those the -se in Rose is more like a z... maybe I have bad ears. :S
