I figure Theodore probably alludes to the Wicked Wich of the West, who is sometimes called Theodora. There is the fact that Penny, a girl, alludes to Pinocchio, a boy, so apparently, the RWBY character allusions don't really have to line up with the character's sex.

I do still believe that Oscar is supposed to be Dorothy, since


 * Both Oscar and Dorothy live on a farm with their aunt.


 * There's a Wizard of Oz novel where Ozma speaks to Dorothy through a mirror. The first time that Ozpin/Ozma spoke to Oscar was when Oscar was looking in a mirror.


 * Dorothy wanted something more than her simple life on the farm, and Ozpin mentions knowing that Oscar wanted something more than to just be a farmhand in Mistral.
