Well, for starters you kind of have Velvet's character wrong. She was a background character who got more screentime because the fans loved her and wanted her. They held a design contest so a fan could design her battle outfit (which is listed in the trivia on her page), and Monty hinted at her fighting style being a 'Mage' type. I can't remember if he used the specific words "Blue Mage" or not, but that's what she is - a Blue Mage from Final Fantasy, who's gimmick is that they take the moves from enemies for themselves.

We were teased something cool, yes, and it really didn't deliver, and the specific animations used are a tribute to Monty (such as using Ruby's Red Trailer animation) along with just being a massive time saver when they were feeling stressed by how much animation they had to do for the end of V3, but Velvet herself isn't a tribute to Monty. She's basically a fan character with how she was implemented in the show, being a fan favourite that they decided to add instead of someone planned. (Unlike Roman who was a writer favourite they wanted to write more of, the fans had nothing to do with his extended stay).

As for the names themselves - I'm with SYUTK. They're bland and boring.
