I understand that. What I don't understand is how it can exist as a thing in-universe.

I mean, if RWBY took place on Earth in the far future (like, for example, the Shannara Chronicles), where all of the languages many of the names come from exist, then yes, I'd completely understand it being a thing in that setting's culture.

However, that isn't the case, as RWBY takes place on an entirely seperate planet, where the only language they speak is English (Monty himself said that that's the case), so names like "Rojo", which means "Red" in Spanish, would have no meaning, since Spanish doesn't exist there.

Also, it just seems weird that virtually everyone born in the previous 80 years since the war ended would follow it. I just can't see that happening with potentially billions of people.

Thank you for being respectful with your response by the way, Phantom. I appreciate it.
