How common is the name Hunter?
There's this character and there's Hunter S. Thompson and that's it?
shareThere is also a college wrestler at Ohio State named Hunter Stieber...It's far from a common name, but you do see it pop up occasionally.

His name was Hunt.
I'm happiest...in the saddle.
If we go with "Hunt", we still have:
Hunt Block ~ actor
Hunt Lowry ~ movie producer
Hunt Baldwin ~ movie producer
Hunt Dougherty ~ visual effects artist
Hunt Sales ~ musician/actor ~ He's Soupy Sales' son=}
*** The trouble with reality is there is no background music. ***
Hunter Carson ~ Karen Black's son
She co-starred with him in the remake of "Invaders from Mars".
Others are:
Hunter Hayes ~ musician/actor
Hunter Tylo ~ actress
Hunter Parrish ~ actor
Hunter Gomez ~ actor
*** The trouble with reality is there is no background music. ***
Right, forgot about miss Tylo. So both sexes can use the name. Did not know that.
shareI always have thought her name would have been a good one for a hero/heroine in perhaps a science fiction novel/series. It's so catchy!
*** The trouble with reality is there is no background music. ***
Yeah, once you name your kid like that, any lesser occupation would be a disappointment. :)
shareI'll bet there are some "regular" people named "Hunt" or "Hunter". I didn't do a search for others, just through IMDb.
When I was at the city newspaper for 10 years, I was in charge of a number of departments, including obituaries, so I know how unusual names can get and that they often aren't the only ones with those names. Among the most interesting are: Fairy (women), Ruby (men), Opal (men and women), Rose/Rose of Sharon (men); Sloan after author Sloan Wilson; Zola after author Emil Zola; and many more. Long ago, we had local residents named Pink Golden, Dusty Rhodes, and Star Dust. At one of our cemeteries, I noticed a headstone with "Cinderella", but I don't recall the last name.

Move to western Pennsylvania (ironically where this movie is set) and you will find the name “Hunt or Hunter” very common. Western PA is filled with a ton of redneck hunters…and they all name their kid “Hunt or Hunter” When I first saw the movie and heard the lead’s name it made me laugh as I knew like 100 people with that name in this area.
shareHunter Pence, outfielder of the Astros, Phillies, and as of late, the Giants.
Of course there is Hunter Hearst Helmsley but we all know his real name is Paul.
I went to school with a kid named Hunter. He's a lawyer now...
