Good meaning, nothing against it in the sources
In the Western Christian tradition Gaspard is the name given to one of the three Magi (Gaspard, Melchior and Balthazar), celebrated on 6 January. Because the name is known chiefly through that tradition, it is counted as a name of another religion. No source read rules on the name; a scholar's call.
