Rumer could be a theoretical modern form of an Old English Rumhere, but I've never seen either, so this is probably just coincidence. I just constructed Rumhere from the common element -here (Aelfhere, Wulfhere etc.), and the less common (in England at least) Rum- (see Rumbald etc.). Many obscure names like this survive in surnames, and then occasionally pop back into the list of personal names from being a surname.
