Rhonymous/Ronimous

Rhonymous/Ronimous

[name_m]Just[/name_m] came across this name from an old newspaper story (the man was born in the late 1800’s) but was wondering if anyone has come across it before or had any history on it. It is completely new to me.
I do think it might be related to [name_m]Hieronymus[/name_m]. But was curious if anyone knew anything more about it. And what your general opinion on the name was.

I can’t find anything about it - besides a few people who’ve had the name.

But I suspect you’re right in that it’s a variation/diminutive of [name_m]Hieronymus[/name_m] - especially as Roni/Rony can be a form of it too in Finnish

I like this spelling best, personally. It’s so striking, with the R and H and Y… I love it!

I’ve never heard of it, but I think it’s got an excellent look and sound (RON-ih-muss is how I’m saying it). Feels very Harry Potter and/or Game of Thrones, as it fits right in with Aberforth, Hermione, Rhaenyra, and Daenerys. A mythic, dragon-scaled, and hearty name.

The only ‘con’ for me… is that it looks so much like the word anonymous. Not horrid by any means really, but not the greatest similarity.

It really does seem like George RR Martin tried to spell Hieronymus :laughing: I also see the ‘anonymous’ thing.

It was the last name of one of my elementary school teachers. It has a cool sound, but it sounds more like a word than anything (probably due to the similarity to anonymous).

I’ve never heard of it, but it kind of sounds like a disease… :grimacing:
