Those are the two associations I have with it as well, and neither are people I want to name my child for, LOL. (That and it reminds me a bit of the word "barf". :-/) I could definitely see using it as a mn, though, if it's a family name. You could always use Gary, Garrett, or Gareth (that is just one extra letter :b) to honor your dad instead. A tiny bit of a stretch, but still do-able, I think.

ETA: Leslie, Layton, and Carmel all have "garden" in their meanings, and that is what Garth means, so that could be a way to honor your dad, too. ;)
