DP suggested this today out of the blue. What do you think? We'd probably shorten to Gerry but also Ged is a possibility.

Made me think of Gerald from the full monty!

All I think of is Ratner which isn’t good.

Sorry.

Your DH needs to start thinking again.

I’m afraid I just think of Roman Atkinson’s Father of the Bride speech.
