Huh. Actually, I always though it was supposed to sound like 'Ronen'. I'm not entirely sure why -- perhaps it's some Southern pronunciation thing. Of course, now I'm giggling thinking of you as Ronan the Barbarian, with a slightly different emphasis on the 'Bar' part.
It's been done: The book is one of a trilogy by James Bibby; they're sort of Pratchett genre, except that people die messily every so often. Some excruciating puns, but that appears to be a requirement if you're writing that sort of thing.
Oh, and Ronan the Barbarian is a six-foot dreadlocked black dude who's fairly clean-living. He does have a friend called Tarl who'd be closer to what you're envisioning for me - usually pissed as a newt and happiest when sitting next to a plentiful supply of beer.
Hey, i always tell the story of how your accent became surgically grafted on my speech the next night after i became slightly intoxicated, and then would not leave after i'd sobered up.

Amusingly, it does read more-or-less correctly if you treat it as three japanese syllables.
