Gunnar is a very traditional Scandinavian name
I think almost everyone in Sweden has some relative named Gunnar.
But it seems Americans pronounce "gun" like the English word "gun". This is wrong but may be the reason people associate the name with guns. Of course, the name is much older than the invention of guns.

You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams."

I couldn't ever use it. The "gun" is too strong for me, sorry.
It reminds me of ganar, which is a spanish verb meaning to win. even though that's not how it's said but still.

It's not one I'd use, but I rather like it. :)
It's too violent for me, just as Killian is--whether it's a real name or not, I can't fathom using it with such an unfortunate emphasized syllable.
Gunnar Zebadiah strikes me as very cool, as does Gunnar Zebulon. :)

It's the name of my great-grandfather :-) That's why I rather like it, even though it's not really my style.
Reminds me of a gun. Horrible name.

Ditto, even though I know it's legit.
It's actually a legitimate Norse name.
