(1) The name Unais given by your parents is very good. There is no need to change it. Why you don’t like it that too when you have turned twenty years old, you might have used this name in your records in all your government documents etc then in such case it seems good for you not change the name.
(2) It is lawful to change the name, but in the question mentioned it is advised not to change your name.
(3) If the name Yasir sounds good to you and there is no problem in choosing this name, then there is no harm if you keep this name as some companions were named with this name.
Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
