A lot of old, commonly used boy names sound decidedly masculine. Not in a bad way, but they are boldly male not "soft." Robert, Richard, George, Bernard, Frederick, Edward, Arthur, and Dominic all sound very masculine. Cecil and Adrian sound male but softly so.
Bear seems gender neutral to me since bears aren't exclusively masculine anyway. I don't care for it as a name on either gender. Ursa and Ursula, the bear women names, still sound womanly even if they aren't my favorites.
I could imagine Gunner as the nickname of a woman in the military as well as for a man. As an occupation name, it seems like it could swing either way. Carter and Porter sound more masculine than Gunner in my opinion not because those occupations are more masculine but just the sounds.

Gunnar maybe, but gunner is more a job in the military.
Axel is okay and better that the Axl version.
Not a real fan of the common noun as name, but Bear, and perhaps Fox, are better than most of these. Could always try Dov which means bear.
Then of course there are
Butch
Harry
Brock
Cable
Stone
Hugh
Gerhard

From your list:
Gunner: I don't like it. I associate it with a mass shooting.
Axel: Great! Like it.
Bear: nope.
I would like to add:
Andrew (which literally means "man" in Greek)
Richard
Reinhard
Ryan (means "little king" in Irish)
Kingsley (but it sounds too childish to me)
Bernard
