I have been thinking about this for a while. The name 'Crescent Rose' is, on the surface, really just a mundane description. 'Crescent' clearly refers to the shape of the scythe blade and 'Rose' is a reference to the weapon's mistress.

However, I'm wondering if there might be a deeper meaning to it. The reason I do so is the moon. The shattered moon has had a silen starring role in all four Trailers. Additionally, at the end of the Red Trailer, Ruby is back-lit by the moon and the shot turns into a stylised logo with her against a red disc and Crescent Rose's blade matching the curve of the moon. The same trick is used on the RWBY Red t-shirt.

Given the progressive fragmentation of the moon through the duration of the trailers and that Ruby was shown back-lit by it in the first and last, I'm wondering if there might be a connection. Could she draw some power from the lunar tides?

Thoughts and comments are welcome!
