Gunnar sits in the middle of the range — from the capital “G” on, most of its 6 letters are shapes a beginner already knows, and the rest are the ones worth slowing down for. The double “n” is a nice rhythm builder: tracing the same letter twice in a row helps the shape stick. Because Gunnar was the #612 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Gunnar tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.
How each letter in Gunnar is formed:
- G — Start like a capital C — one big open curve — then a short bar in across the middle, like a shelf for the curve to rest on.
- u — A short line down, curve along the bottom, back up — then a small line down the right side to finish.
- n — A short line down, then back up and over a single hump to the baseline. Gunnar uses it twice.
- a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side.
- r — A short line down, then trace back up and add a little curved arm over to the right — and stop there.
After the full-height capital G, nothing in Gunnar climbs to the top guide line again. The rest stay between the midline and the baseline with nothing hanging below, which gives a finished row of Gunnar an even, tidy silhouette.
Gunnar runs six letters, the single most common name length on this site (562 of the 1,918 names). It is also one of the rarer picks on this site, sitting deeper in the 2025 boys' list yet still ahead of 367 of the 965 boys' names.
Gunnar was the #612 boys' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. Each sheet prints as a single page on US Letter or A4, carrying three-line handwriting guides with a fourth descender line underneath.
Tips for tracing Gunnar
- Chunk it as “Gun” + “nar”: a short pause in the middle of Gunnar keeps attention fresh through all six letters.
- The double “n” in Gunnar is a built-in rhythm drill: two identical shapes back to back, so the second one should come out steadier than the first.
- Call out “tall, small, small, small, small, small” as the pencil moves — naming each letter's height is the quickest fix for uneven sizing in Gunnar.
- Close with a single unguided Gunnar on scrap paper. Tracing teaches the movement; writing it from memory makes it stick.
Customization options
Font style
Dotted letters are the classic preschool tracing outline; solid light-gray letters are the next step, for writing directly over the full letterform. The example row of Gunnar always prints in solid dark letters for reference.
Letter size
Three guide-line heights. Bigger lines mean fewer repetitions per page but easier control, and Gunnar fits comfortably at all three — most families begin large and shrink from there.
Number of practice lines
You choose how many rows of Gunnar print: 1 to 12 under the example row. New tracers do better with fewer, larger lines; confident ones can fill a full twelve-line page.
