O n Rosh Chodesh Adar 5719 at the Brooklyn Jewish Hospital in Crown Heights a baby boy was born to a Yerushalmi father and a Bronx-born mother.
His bris was held on Erev Tishah B’Av.
When it was time for the naming of the baby the baby’s father announced “Ron Yitzchok ben Yoel Moshe.”
The rav was silent but the chassidish mohel screamed out “Ron?! There’s no such name as Ron! His name has to be Aharon or Avrum… ‘Ron’ is not a name.”
