I've heard he is.

Also Girard is not a very common name 'round these parts. It sounds funny and slightly foreign (mostly because it is). We use it for a street and a school and that's about it...But the street is an important one and that keeps it in our subconscious forefronts. It would fit the general naming conventions of a D&D-esque world -- foreign-ish, but not too foreign -- quite well.
