Gunnar is a very traditional Scandinavian nameI think almost everyone in Sweden has some relative named Gunnar.But it seems Americans pronounce "gun" like the English word "gun". This is wrong but may be the reason people associate the name with guns. Of course, the name is much older than the invention of guns."You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams."

Gunnar Jaden is all i can think of. I really only like this name as a middle name but even then, it sounds a little harsh to me.

I couldn't ever use it. The "gun" is too strong for me, sorry.

It reminds me of ganar, which is a spanish verb meaning to win. even though that's not how it's said but still.

It's not one I'd use, but I rather like it. :)It's too violent for me, just as Killian is--whether it's a real name or not, I can't fathom using it with such an unfortunate emphasized syllable.Gunnar Zebadiah strikes me as very cool, as does Gunnar Zebulon. :)Array

It's the name of my great-grandfather :-) That's why I rather like it, even though it's not really my style.

It's actually a legitimate Norse name.
