HelpRe: Gunnar
in reply to a message by emilylauren
I think it ages really badly. It seems to be part of both the hyper-masculine trend (gun) and the occupational-surname trend (nar, which sounds like er, which indicates an occupational surname), even though it may or may not be part of either - I haven't clicked it yet. And I don't think these trends will age well at all.
Out of curiosity, what is it about Gunnar that you and your husband find appealing? (I'm genuinely interested in knowing, I'm not trying to be rude.)
ETA: The popularity charts seem to support the concept that it has a trendy feel, even if it isn't really popular. For some strange reason, I really do like Gunther a lot. I guess the "th" gives it a certain strength that feels more genuine to me than Gunnar's superficial-feeling testosteroniness, and also a distinctive quirkiness among all of the smooth names out there. Anyway.
