This doesn't quite fit the names for people, but King Arthur's broad
sword's/lance's was named Ron, with its full name being Rhongomyant.

"...he graces his right hand with the lance named Ron. This was a long

 -Bulfinch's Mythology, page 400

How does Molly fit into this? Or does she not count because she is not
blood relation to Arthur?
