Well, that's an interesting rumor. Actually, the true origin of "Willow Schnee" is a photo Monty tweeted in 2014.

He was transferring files onto his work computer after he got back into town and decided to tweet about how he was glad to be back, and he took a photo of his computer to post with the tweet. The monitor that was the main focus of the photo shows two Windows Explorer windows filled with folders named after RWBY characters, but most of it is covered up by dialog boxes showing the progress on transferring files. However, people were still able to make out a lot of the names, mostly ones of characters we've already seen in the show, some that we haven't seen in the show yet. This photo is actually the very first place we saw Penny's last name Polendina.

Anyway, Willow's name is between "White Fang" and "Winter Schnee". All that is visible is actually "llow Schn", but there's literally no other word that could serve as the first name than Willow.

Here's an image with the photo where I tried to label as many of the names as I could after volume 3:
