I love the name Gunner, Scandinavian, or Gunther German! It means warrior! Great name for a boy!

I hope people are using this as a variation of the Scandinavian (verify?) Gunnar and not because it reminds them of guns.

disregard this second comment I accidently commented twice haha
Guest Says:
I was aware of that but I just feel like with the gun-crazy culture of America I would never consider using this. The Danish pronunciation doesn't make it sound violent, thankfully.

Gunner is a scandinavian name, it doesn't sound violent at all. Check forvo for a pronunciation of the way it's said in Danish, Norwegian and other.
Lyraslife Says:
Being Danish Gunner is no way violent, it's actually a common name for older men, but it's becoming more popular to use for children.
