Yes! Absolutely yes! Gunner is a horrible name, as is Baylor. If you think this is political, that's your problem. It's not my fault if the most horrible names are mostly red.

The point being names are just names.

And your opinion is just yours.

Try to be nicer, and you may end up happier for it.

You're not wrong, but that's a weird hill to defend.

Did you call your kid Gunner or are you just trying to get offended on the internet?

And what’s wrong with the name Gunnar?

It’s a Germanic/Norse name that’s been in use for thousands of years, but some ignorant American thinks it’s horrible and needs to go?

I said Gunner, not Gunnar, but go on, I guess?

Edit: bonus point for calling me "ignorant american" when I'm not from that continent.

Gunner is the anglicised version of Gunnar champ.

So use Gunnar instead, champ. Using a name so linked to guns in a country with such a problem with guns is out of touch and cringe.

Also, champ, can I dislike a name or are you going to tell me what to think? Is your name gunnar and you feel offended because an internet stranger doesn't like the american version of it, champ?
