Well, do we know anything about naming conventions in the RWBYverse?

Do married couples - are there 'marriages'? - adopt a common family name? Do kids get named after their parents at all, or are their names derived from totally different origins?

Think of the American Indians as an example, who took their names from deeds or a personal totem when reaching maturity.

Maybe the first name is what the parents call their kids and the second part comes later by to us yet unknown methodology.
