You are actually the second person to ask that. I read the book, but I do not remember that name. It is a bastardization (I love that word) of my real name. My nephew could not say Rheeta-Lou, and it came out Rous (rhymes with muse). It was my mom's name also, so my sole-mate (yes I spelled it that way on purpose) and mom and sisters and a cousin all started to call me that. It stuck. I have had worse nicknames. Some do not bear repeating.
I have actually only had to add a number to it for Yahoo and Tolkien Online. Seems there are a couple of others, maybe they got it from the book. *shaking head at silliness of some people. made up names from book*
I wanted to use Elrénia, which I got from one of those name generators, but used it in my "short" story. Too confusing to use it for both.
There, now see what happens when the cat gets curious, bored to death. LOL

The ROUS's in Princess Bride are Rodents Of Unusual Size. But I like your explanation better.
