There is a theory that states that Yellow's name will be the Chinese word Yang.

Not only does this start with 'Y', and mean 'light and initiative', but there is a picture of a file marked 'Yang' open on Monty Oum's laptop while he was working on the Yellow character.

Unfortunately this theory is unlikely, because Yang is a masculine word, and the female equivalent, Yin, refers to darkness.

Who knows?
