It might get shortened to Hun...

Probably.

There are much nicer names around. It doesn't have pleasant associations tbh.

I'm not a fan of surnames as first names generally, but that name just makes me think of someone who likes killing animals.

I love the name Hunter and would like it for any other boys I have.

Don't worry about shortening. All names will get shortened to somthing you don't like. It's what kids do. Unless it's a short name and then it will get lengthened to somthing your don't like.

Boys normally use surnames for nicknames anyway.

Fine if you see a future as a gladiator! Otherwise? No.

Good name for a dog.

Sounds like a pair of wellies (sorry)
