WRBY could just as easily be pronounced "Raby" or "Warby" or "Ribby" or "Robey" or "Rabbi"... Given that W is used as cross between an o and u sound (like watt "u-aht/o-aht"), it is a logical replacement for the vowels and, hell, it shouldn't be considered a consonant in the first place, but that's a side issue. Point being that RWBY is not nearly as ambiguous as WRBY as it is neither similar to a real word nor contains a vowel to guide the pronunciation. Of the course the same could be argued for CRDL which I'll always first and foremost pronounce as "curdle."
