===Same-sounding phrases===

The name ''oronym'' was first proposed and advocated by [[Gyles Brandreth]] in his book ''The Joy of Lex'' (1980), and such use was also accepted in the [[BBC]] programme ''Never Mind the Full Stops'', which featured Brandreth as a guest.

but since the term [[Toponymy#Toponymic typology|oronym]] was already well established in [[linguistics]] as an [[Onomastics|onomastic]] designation for a class of [[Toponymy|toponymic]] features (names of mountains, hills, etc.),{{sfn|Room|1996|p=75}} the alternative use of the same term was not well-accepted in scholarly literature.{{sfn|Stewart|2015|p=91, 237}}
