Thoughts?
In America?
Is the "gas" part just asking for trouble?

In spanish this means to spend or to waste and all I think about is that meaning and the character from Beauty and the Beast. I would never use it.

Makes me think of the mean guy from Beauty and the Best, the one who wants to marry Belle.

Well, I'm currently performing in Beauty and the Beast...To be honest, Gaston isn't exactly a role model and seeing as I cant think of anything else but the character, i can't like the name :(

My mind didn't even go there. I thought of Beauty and the Beast and the the guy who originally wrote the Phantom of the Opera in 1909 (Gaston Leroux). I actually really like the name. I wish it were around more in literature and people's names.

What does that mean?

Ditto means s/he agrees with you. NT means that there is no text in the body of the message. (Sorry if you already knew some of that but I wasn't sure what you needed clarified.)

The gas part is asking for trouble. It sounds like someone is getting "gassed on." I say thumbs down.
