Just to be pedantic: not really, in English anyway. "Lunar" is
pronounced more like "loo-ner", whereas "thunar" is pronounced "too-nar"
(I believe someone mentioned that the "h" was silent). Yeah, English
vowels are stupid like that. At any rate, I'm sure any similar spelling
and/or pronunciation is purely coincidental.
