Peter:Well, maybe not, but the name Rameses was almost unknown in Egypt until the time of Rameses I, and then became very popular because two important Pharaohs carried the name, and many things (and nine more Pharaohs) were named or renamed after them, including a major city in just the region described in Genesis, previously known as Avaris.
Rameses in Genesis 47 is a place name, probably not referring to a city, not
a personal name. Who says that a place had to be named after a pharaoh?
