This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

And what’s wrong with the name Gunnar?
It’s a Germanic/Norse name that’s been in use for thousands of years, but some ignorant American thinks it’s horrible and needs to go?
I said Gunner, not Gunnar, but go on, I guess?
Edit: bonus point for calling me "ignorant american" when I'm not from that continent.
Gunner is the anglicised version of Gunnar champ.
So use Gunnar instead, champ. Using a name so linked to guns in a country with such a problem with guns is out of touch and cringe.
Also, champ, can I dislike a name or are you going to tell me what to think? Is your name gunnar and you feel offended because an internet stranger doesn't like the american version of it, champ?
