Cleverwitch:
As a child, I read a book called The 13th is Magic in which a 
character named Ronald *becomes* Childe Roland [who] to the darke 
tower came. The point was made in this book that Ronald is an 
anagram of Roland. In this respect, Ronald too is a "royal" name. 
Wasn't Roland the son of Charlemagne?
BTW both Harry (Henry) and James are also royal names, aren't they?

Happy Holidays everyone,

Cleverwitch (who hardly ever posts, but enjoys reading what others 
on this brilliant site have to say)
