Ronald is a creepy as_ name. I mean , seriously who names a book cheracter after Ronal McDonald?! WTF! I mean seriously the name just brings to mind a creepy , burger-gulping ugly clown. EWWW! not to mention that i am against fast food, but still, the thought of Ronald McDonald makes me want to barf, I dont need reminding of THAT every time I hear the name "Ron Weasley" or read Harry Potter/watch the movies.

Okay. Again, Ronald is a name. A fairly common name. And no, she did not name him after Ronald McDonald! Okay, so I've been reading and watching Harry Potter for YEARS and not once did I think 'Ronald McDonald' when hearing 'ron'. Thanks for insulting all the Ronalds in the world.

Some great Ronalds,
Ron Weasley, of course
Ronald Reagan, president of the United States
Ronald Bandel, Dutch mayor
Ronald Cheng, Hong Kong pop star and actor

And many many more

It's not their fault the McDonalds mascot shares their name
