Monty actually said that 'Glinda' means 'fair', as in whitish. So Glynda's got a color and a fairy tale reference in her name.

Ozpin, however, still stumps me. I know it's supposed to be something green, but aside from the Oz reference, nothing about Ozpin's name strikes me as being reminiscent of green things. :/ (Then again, maybe that's all they need. :P)
