As in, all of RWBY and JNPR have names that can be said quickly during combat. Yatsuhashi, not so much. I wouldn't be surprised if his team just called him "Y" when time was short. Maybe "Neo" is just Roman's shorthand for her - because "neapolitan" is too long to say in combat. Neo is undoubtedly just her given name. Her full name probably has a variation of Politan in it (Politan is a used surname, but as far as I know, it has no meaning). She could be like Cyril Ian wherein the names apart have no color reference, but together they do make up a color. Yatsuhashi probably has a more workable nickname like Yatsu or Hashi.

I don't think Neo is related to Roman. He doesn't give off a brotherly vibe. From the first moment I saw, I imagined he really has no family.
