(Would the opposite of "anonymous" be "nonymous"?)

  No, the word you're looking for is onymous[1]. The internal structure is an-onymous: c. 1600, "without a name;" 1670s, "published under no name, of unknown authorship," from Late Latin anonymus, from Greek anonymos "without a name," from an- "without" (see an- (1)) + onyma, Æolic[4] dialectal form of onoma "name" (from PIE root *no-men- "name").[2] Onoma survives in onomatopoeia[3] (and other words).

    In modern greek it would be eponymous.
