Exactonyms...a rose by any other?

Really precise aptonyms / aptronyms? (Thanks, Vanya)

Synonyms and / or related concepts include aptronym, apronym, aptonym, jobonymns, namephreaks, onomastic determinism, perfect fit last names (PFLNs), psychonymics, and classically nomen est omen or όνομα ορίζοντας. ND researchers are comiconomenclaturists.

A key related word is aptronym, allegedly coined by United States newspaper columnist Franklin P. Adams, meaning a name aptly suited to its owner. The distinction is subtle but fundamental: as post-hoc vs propter-hoc, so aptronym versus nominative determinism.
