The examples weren't meant to be perfect, just illustrate a point. The point is that a name can mean plenty of things, and I'm not willing to assume that it's the character without further evidence. Given a bit of time, I could come up with plenty of characters from assorted legends that have "Rose" in their names. But that wouldn't make Ruby based on any of them.

Hell, if I want to take it to the most extreme possible example of why the name "Branwen" isn't enough, there's Qrow. He's got the last name as well, and I don't think anybody's about to argue that they're both based on Branwen.
