And also, IME, traditional, to the extent that I really don't see the
joke in pronuncing the name as "boner." It's no funnier than my BS
pronunciation of _Jonathan_ as "Joe-Nathan."

Besides, there's no call to disrespect the erect. You can do more
interesting things with a boner than you can do with an asshole like
Boehner.
