'Ronald' is a perfectly acceptable name. 'Roald' is obviously a typo. I mean, name me another 'Roald'?
Roald Amundsen
Never heard of him(?). Obviously made-up. 
It bugs me when people decide to pronounce their names in a totally different way then how it's spelt.
'Hello. Are you Ralph Fiennes?'
'It's pronounced Rafe actually'
'Rape? Rape fines? Like a fine for raping?'
'No Rafe, rhymes with waif'
'Rhymes with wanker more like.'
'Security!'
I never did get Ralph Fiennes autograph in the end.

That is a good name.
Menzies is a nice name. It rhymes with 'sing'
As in "I'm going shopping at John Ming"... 
Beauchamp pronounced Beecham and Saint John pronounced Sinjin.

On the same token:
I'm going shopping in Mouse-hole in Cornwall.
The mouse popped its head out of its mowzull.
"Roamenzies in the Gloamenzies with a lassie by my side"
Wiping your arse with sandpaper can be very roo.
The train went thruff the tunnel.
'Siobhan'. 
There is a difference between the distinctive orthography of the Celtic languages and some posh twat mispronouncing a perfectly decent English name in order to make it sound less common.
