Sorry guys, the only gun I've really ever used for deer hunting is my Mannlicher Schoenauer, and that's out of the question. (LOL)
I had a friend who named his kid Tracker. Hunter, Spike, Tine, are some of the ones that come to mind.

I didn't read all of the other suggestions, but honestly, please pick your kid's name very carefully.
My family is one of the biggest names in professional rodeo, so they named me something very "western". It's great when I'm at a rodeo, or around ranchers, etc, but when I was in engineering school, or when I'm at professional meetings now, it's very out of context, and people ALWAYS comment on it. It's not insulting, but it's distracting, when I'm trying to work on deals worth millions of dollars to have someone make random conversation about how I got a name like that.
Fairly common names like Colt or Hunter or Marshall are great, but something like Remington, or Ruger (yeah, I've actually met a guy named Ruger, naturally the first thing I said is that "oh man, I have a bunch of ruger guns"-and he hated it! His dad was a shooter, he's NOT) or any of those other random weird names are just a pain in the butt. It's great for creativity, and it seems like a good idea, but honestly, "Gunner" or "Remington" isn't good for a professional adult. If I'm a hiring manager going through resume's, then both "Shaniqua Johnson" and "Gunner Jones" are both going in the trash without getting read.
