Hey guys, Just wondering what's the Irish for the name Gerrard Lavery? Is it Gearóid Ó Labhrai, or Ná Labhrai? Or is the latter the female version? Cheers!

Gearóid Ó Labhraí (don't forget the fada on the 'i'), would be the regular way for Gerard Lavery. Gerrard (as you have it) I hav'nt seen as a first name.
Lesser used forms of Gerard are:
Gearard
Giorard
Gioróid
Gearalt

Ní Labhraí is the female version...daughter
Uí Labhraí is the female version...wife
