Most of the sources I've looked at restrict the term to use of a name as a generic, eg. calling someone a "Romeo" or a "Scrooge," though I have dim recollections of seeing in print " antonomasia " being used to describe the use of "coke" as "soft drink" or "levis" as "denim pants."
One was antonomasia , the usually derisive practice of describing an individual by a certain characteristic, then making it into a proper noun.
He blithely absolves this libel as an example of " antonomasia ".
The antonomasia can also work the other way, with a proper name as a description - referring to a soldier as a Rambo, for instance, or calling an obsequious black man Uncle Tom.
Here we deal with a case of antonomasia of the first type.
