Chloe brought this up in a previous post and so I googled. What gun names that are trendy can you think of and do you like the names?

Yeah, anything that is related to the name of gun manufacturers/models is a NO-NO for me. Maybe the people like the sound of the name in itself, but I can't shake away the association that comes with. Seems very much like glorifying gun culture.
I think most of the names are too out there (saying as someone who loves some out-there names)
Arson sounds awfully close to a*hole, but I think that’s more an English insult than American?
Gunner, although I do like the sound, is an unfortunate name for obvious reasons.
Danger, Rebel, Pistol and Arrow are just words. Caliber and Magnum (condoms?) are just bad. Trigger & Shooter are army nicknames. David “Trigger” & Liam “Shooter”.
Cannon sounds like canon to me, a religious title (canon)
Barrett, Remington, Kimber, Ruger, Wesson, Browning, Benelli and Beretta - I can most of these as names, not being familiar with gun brands. Ruger sounds like a Dutch/Belgium first name. I always assumed Kimber was a variation of Kimberly.
Too tired to do the rest 😅
I do LOVE the name Clint!

Most of the gun-inspired names are pretty bad. A few of the ones mentioned on there I would argue are not inspired by what they think they are (Kimber is derived from Kimberly, and Kali is a variant of Callie). I like Archer and Hunter though.
Good point!!
This is my least favorite name trend. I can understand other things to some degree even if I'm not interested in to them or don't like, but no matter how much I think about this, I don't understand it.
