User blog comment:Takeshi kun21/What is your Name?: Guide to Naming Your RWBY OC/@comment-26130256-20150701235044

If I may humbly recommend another route to create names...

If you happen to speak a language besides English, or at least have a [Language] to English dictionary, there can be words there that would make good names.

For example, I'm currently kicking around an OC idea named Canela. Which doesn't sound like it works with the CNR, until I tell you it's the Spanish word for cinnamon, which is usually a reddish-brown color. Other possible Spanish names (with translation) I can think of off the top of my head include Tomillo ("sage"), Polvora ("gunpowder"), and Imán ("magnet", usually a silver or bright red color.) Not the best names, since I just made them up just now, but languages can be a great help.

P.S. I call dibs on those names I mentioned unless you ask me permission first.
