I’m pregnant and having a boy. Is “Gunner” a name that belongs on this sub?

My fiancee says it sounds like a dogs name and I need to quit being stupid. My brother says it sounds like “gooner”.
I just want a unique name.
Please tell me your honest thoughts. No I’m not white but the baby is going to be half white. I thought Gunner sounded like a nice white name. Middle name is going to be Alexander or lee.
SOME MORE CONTEXT SO I CAN QUIT COPY PASTING IT IN MY REPLIES:
I chose Gunner….or was going to…because my fiancee is white.
My whole family including myself has very “Mexican” sounding names. And I grew up in a very white area. I got made fun of for my name alot. So did my brothers Enrique and Alberto. Some older kid once told them they sounded like off brand gay ninja turtles and i remember it made my younger brother cry. We always wanted white names. Now I love my name, but I really wanted to give my child a WHITE name. A cool WHITE name so they aren’t made fun of either. Even though I know people are more we sensitive to ethnicity and stuff now, kids can still be cruel.
Before these comments, I thought Gunner was a nice white name. And a cool sounding one.
The comments have changed my mind. I also thought canyon was a classic “cool persons” white name too. But now I’m rethinking my idea of what constitutes as “cool” in white culture.
Thank you for all your responses btw. Even the harsh ones. I know you all just don’t want another embarrassing baby name out in the world.
More context:
For the people saying I suffer from self hatred. I do not. I am very proud of my heritage. However I have come to the realization after posting this that my childhood experiences have affected me more than I thought. But for people telling me to seek therapy and dont have anymore kids, that’s just mean please stop.
