The original name is BuhIX ( your explanation fits perfectly here). This IXP was active in the dark age, late 1990s, and it provided mainly private peering services. You can still see the fossilized webpage : http://www.buhix.ro/index.htm . Notice the fancy Frontpage template and the cool ASCII art matrix.

For example, Amsterdam IXP is called AMSIX. Thus, RONIX was first called BUCIX :D After they realized that BUCIX doesn't sound so good in Romanian, they renamed it to RONIX.
