I can't think of a nickname for Gaylord other than Gay or Lord, neither of which will do much for teasing potential. Gabe is a possibility, I suppose. Laurie? That sounds pretty girly, which won't help the whole 'gay' thing, but it can be a guy's name. Gary could work (GAyloRd (+ie)). But the 'a' is soft in Gary and hard in Gaylord. Of course, some nicknames have that- Katherine/Kate for example, and Katherine also yields the even-less-sound-alike Kitty. Vowel sound changes in nicknames are acceptable. But I think Gabe would catch on better.
Hm...
