I kinda like Everard, even though it doesn't fit my style at all. Sometimes I think it's really cool; other times I think of an aristocratic guy. It sounds usable to me. I don't know why it's never been that common: after all, Bernard and Leonard are well known. (My theory is that it's because those two names have common nicknames. Everard does not.)

I do know two guys named Everett (a surname derived from Everard), as well as a guy named Eberardo. But it would be really cool to meet an Everard.

I like the Ever-part, I like the -ard part, but for some reason I dislike them together. Everard is just too much. I prefer Everett and Edward, even though I'm not a big fan of Edward.

Absolutely usable. I prefer Everett, but Everard is fine too.

Teasing alert - "ever 'ard" - geddit?

Everard seems sort of whiny to me but I like the aesthetic regardless. I can't speak for England, but it certainly has a modern appeal and I wouldn't be surprised if it had a comeback.

I think it's still perfectly reasonable, I live in England and I think that it is not something you hear everyday but also not crazily out of place either.
Some of my personal combo ideas include:
Everard James/Jay
Everard Luke
Everard Mac/Mack
Everard Andrew
Everard Nicholas
Everard Riley
Everard Jacks
Everard Anthony

Hope this has given you some ideas :)
