Essentially yes. The Color Naming Rule is one of the main things that make a RWBY OC a RWBY OC. It may not say specifically first/whole name but it's heavily implied, and evidence from this scene helps back up that claim.

I did the work and looked up Gerald/Gerold for you. Sadly, there's no clear allusion. And getting "gold" from "Gerold" isn't a loophole that would work I'm afraid. The CNR has to be deciphered somehow by everyone, whether it be in plain sight or through research.
