HelpNew name?
Looking through a list of deceased South Africans, I found Hiramoney as a female name. I've never seen it before, and suspect it might be someone's best attempt at something like Harmony. Any ideas? She was married to a man named David who was born in 1947.

Hiramoney isn’t my thing at all, as well as Harmony. I do like David.
My first thought was could it be an attempt at feminising the name Hiram. Though it is also a type of Parakeet.
Hiramon appears to be a name for a type of parakeet. It's also used as a human (first) name in India, though I'm unsure if that usage would be related to the parakeet rather than Hiraman (from Sanskrit हीर hīrā meaning "diamond" and मान mān meaning "respect, pride" according to the submitted names section). My guess would be a variation of that, maybe a feminization? It could also be an anglicization of something else; those can get pretty unrecognizable considering Heremon and Irving are both supposedly anglicizations of Eireamhón. Or, yeah, could be a variation of Harmony like Harmonie.
It seems an ok name to me.
