It’s a cultural thing. In some red areas guns are seen as a cultural signifier. It’s straight up the same as naming a kid Christian or after a virtue or any other name that’s on the nose religious, but with rural cultural values instead of just Christian ones.
I mean, a gunner is a job in the military. Not much different than naming your kid Gunars, which means warrior. Gunman would be more on the nose. I’m just saying, when I hear Gunner’s mom yelling at him not to spill his soda in the car in the grocery store parking lot in 15 years, I’ll be like, “yep, that’s a normal name.”
Also, mass shootings arent the norm. They are extremely rare.
But yes, naming your kid “gun” to “own the libs” is indeed cringe as fuck.
I mean… I get it. But in a country where mass shootings are the norm, calling your son gunner is… a bit out of touch?
Baylor on the other hand is just plain horrible.
Yeah, ‘a bit out of touch’ is a good starting point when talking about conservatives usually…

Naming your kid after a job is cringe.
