as a First Name
From the English vocabulary word gay in its original meaning ‘blithe’ or ‘cheerful’. This came to be used as a given name in the early 20th century because of its well-omened meaning, but fell out of favour again in the 1960s, when the vocabulary word acquired the meaning ‘homosexual’ only the spelling Gae is still in use for the name.
