I suppose, but just as strongly, I associate it with Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian explorer who was a key figure of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration.

But Amundsen is not the first thing people think of when they hear the name Roald it's Dahl

I barely know who Dahl is - the name seems familiar because I know some of his more famous stories like Matilda, but I had to look up who he was. I think of a couple YA fantasy (Tamara Pierce) book characters named it and nothing else, apart from how it seems vaguely like Rory, Raul, Harold.

And? I feel like you're pressing your opinion here.
