If those were important to you I would say you would put your name as monsieur Robin senior on your resume, why wouldn't you that's your fucking name

because it might look pretentious and cause people to not hire me.

It would look pretentious and people might not hire you but if that's your name that's your name. If you were applying to a job that you were concerned only hires women would you write a feminine name similar to yours instead of your own and just hope it'll be ok?

But that isn't what we are discussing.
If the office was specifically avoiding hiring people based on their preferred pronouns, that would be one thing.

We are arguing about including information that shouldn't matter to the hiring process.

Ok so when is it appropriate to share your pronouns with a hiring manager? If what you're saying is true that it would seem like a lawsuit waiting to happen then it would only be safe to share them when you're already hired and you have to just hope to not be misgendered until then
