Potioncat:
I'm glad my little joke has made the rounds. My suggestion for Rose was 
that Ron had pretended to name her after his Aunt Rose, but it was 
really for Rosmerta.

The names Rose and Hugo stand out because they don't make sense, while 
the others do. And maybe that's all JKR was doing. She names characters 
that should never have names----cough*Florence*cough.
