Trish and Jennifer are just stupid, but Geralt is referred to as Gerald at least a couple of times in the early books for some reason

Are you talking about the translation or the original polish?

Translation, I don’t know Polish

It’s only a couple of times, but I’d need to go and get the book out to give you a full quote

Okey, so I think that it might be the case only in the translation. I have read the books in their original language and I don’t recall any moment in which Geralt would be called Gerald. Although I might be wrong, it was a while since I’ve read them.

There were parts like that. I dont remeber the specifics, but I think it was used a few times, as people mireading/hearing his name as Gerald.

It's a deliberate gag.
