Ronon's twin brother?

[USS Kongo]

So I was watching The Lost City once more and I noticed something interesting. When the Stargate program is shut down, Teal'c and Master Bra'tac head for a Jaffa stronghold to enlist help for earth (which is under threat of invasion by the scary hooded guy, Anubis).

A Jaffa signs on who's the pilot of a ship. His name? Ronon.

Didn't know the name Ronon would be so popular in not just one but two galaxies.

That guy actually spelled it Ronan.

 

[The Borgified Corpse]

^It's probably doesn't have a definitive spelling in English anyway, just a phonetic approximation with a few different spellings. Like "Mohammed" & "Muhummad."

Two people in two Galaxies have the same-ounding name? Sacrilege! Next, you'll say that Lt. Chu'lak from DS9 picked his name from watching his DVDs of some 20th century TV show!

[ManOnTheWave]

Someone on the writing staff probably just liked the name and reused it. I don't remember the first character, but it's fitting for SG:A Ronan. 'Ronin' is the Japanese word for masterless samurai, one whose lost his position/house and wanders as a renegade. (It translates to English as 'man on the wave.')
